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 in support of women physician leaders at ZSFG.

WARM Hearts received initial support from the UCSF Committee on the Status of Women and the SFGH Foundation and continues to be supported by 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 people from all departments and at all stages of their careers. If you would like to join, please contact Dr. Erica Langnas, current WARM Hearts Chair at [email protected]
