From research to clinical practice, our panelists will share their experiences, challenges, and insights on being women in the field. Aligned with this year’s theme, "Moving Forward Together! Women Educating & Inspiring Generations," the discussion will explore how we can highlight women’s contributions and ensure their voices are represented in research and clinical care outcomes.
