Idaho Women in Medicine- Spring 2024

While I'd be up for another epic April/ May skiing ⛷️like last year, these first few warm days have made me excited for spring ☀️ as well.   Let's take some time to get together at Bodovino in downtown Boise and catch up with new and old friends and colleagues, before summer gets us all busy. 

The last few years since 🦠,  IWIM get togethers have been sporadic and mostly at my house. But I thought we'd head for feeling grown up again! 😆. I rented the back party room, where there is a private space for us to use, but still wander around the get tasters of wine or order  food (there is a minimum order amount required to rent the room, so please come willing to pitch in, pretty please).

Goal is informal conversation and friendship, but I'll set aside a little bit of time if anyone has announcements about new services, new practices, reminders about your expertise, advocacy needs etc.  I know that we as female physicians are all stronger together, so let's lift each other up!

Female physicians only please.  I appreciate our team members very much, but when we started this in 2018 (I might be the only one of the OGs still around 😬), it was around female physician specific issues that we wanted to support each other around (staff relations, promotions, intergender professional topics, contracts, negotiations, etc etc). I'd like to honor that with the idea that someday, we might get back to that sort of advocacy.   But for now, we shall 🍷 and 🧀!

Please RSVP so i don't stress out i'm going to be there all by myself.   

See you there,
