WARM Hearts

WARM Hearts (Women’s Advancement and Recognition in Medicine)

Welcome! WARM Hearts is a peer networking and professional development support program open to all faculty, focused on the needs of women faculty members based at ZSFG.

 

Leadership   Networking   Advocacy   Wellness   Career Development

 

The Vision of WARM Hearts is to support all faculty, focusing on the needs of the diverse workforce of highly qualified UCSF women faculty at ZSFG. 

WARM Hearts was founded in 2010 by Christina Mangurian, MD, MAS, Department of Psychiatry. Inspired by her experience during the AAMC Early Career Women Faculty Professional Development Seminar, she created this group with the intention of developing a cross-departmental community of women physician leaders at ZSFG.

WARM Hearts received initial support from The Chancellor's Advisory Committee on the Status of Women and the SFGH Foundation and continues to be supported by Elena Fuentes-Afflick MD, MPH, Vice Dean, ZSFG and the UCSF Dean's Office at ZSFG.

WARM Hearts hosts regular meetings focused on concrete skill building and maintains a group email list that highlights career development activities.

Since its creation, WARM Hearts has drawn together like-minded women from all departments and at all stages of their careers. If you would like to join, please contact Dr. Maggie Gilbreth, current WARM Hearts Chair at [email protected]
