On Monday, November 5, a group of about 30 women descended on the town of Woburn, north of Boston, to network, share ideas and get to know each other. The food was fantastic!

I was thrilled to see more than 50 supportive, excited ladies at our recent Fall Forum on October 3. It was a big night for our Women in Healthcare Management group, as we are entering into a “new year” with steering committee leadership and volunteers.

I was working recently with a new student, who I am mentoring, and we discussed (what I find to be) the most important topic when building a relationship like this, how do you like to receive feedback and constructive criticism? Primarily, this is the most important lesson for me, as the mentor. It is inevitable […]
This past Tuesday’s networking event in the Longwood Medical Area of Boston was a fun, energetic start to the New Year. We had more than 30 ladies attend, and I am always interested to meet new women and see the mix of professions and organizations – influenced in part by where we hold the networking […]
