Villages-COM Mentoring & Interest Groups
Women in Medicine and Science (WIMS) will be offering monthly groups. The purpose of the groups is to provide a forum for discussion of the issues and opportunities impacting faculty, especially women and to foster networks and support. *Villages are open to all faculty in the UF HSC. Villages recycle every 4 months (Jan, May, September).
