Mentorship

Tap into one of AMWA’s greatest resources – mentoring. The diversity of our community is one of our greatest assets, creating opportunities to learn from one another and form meaningful connections. Most women physicians will say that they wouldn’t be where they are today had they not had support and encouragement along the way. In fact, many AMWA members achieve success and find career satisfaction because they’ve been fortunate to find a mentor or sponsor within AMWA who provided critical insights at just the right time. Access our mentoring platform.

Coaching

Professional coaching is recognized and valued in many professions as an effective tool for people to align themselves with their strengths and passions, learn new skills, and develop plans to achieve career goals. By taking the step to work with a coach, you are affirming. Coaching offers women physicians a way to reconnect your values to their work, to discover new and more effective ways of achieving what they want, to have more impact, to fulfill your aspirations, and arrive at a place in which you feel professionally satisfied.
