IDEA Series - The Experiences of Women in Medicine: Current State and the Road Ahead
Faculty and trainees within the Department of Medicine who are involved in the care of patients need to receive regular updates on recent advances and guidelines in the field of internal medicine.

The overall aim of the series is to advance clinical knowledge, enhance the quality of patient care, and improve treatment outcomes.
