Prof. Women In Nephrology

WIN was founded in 1983 by women in the field of Nephrology. At it’s inception, the overriding goal was to develop and provide mentors to women in the field. WIN strives to aid women develop exciting careers in the field of renal disease. WIN also advocates within the nephrology community for education and research relevant to women. Over the years, WIN has expanded its purpose to mentoring both professional men and women in the field of Nephrology. WIN can provide you with a community of female MDs and PhDs in Nephrology to help you achieve your professional goals. WIN has sponsored Professional Development Seminars at a number of national meetings, including the American Society of Nephrology annual meeting (Kidney Week), the National Kidney Foundation Spring Meeting, among others. Over the last 35-plus years, WIN’s efforts in career advancement education has served over 1000 physicians and research scientists, both men and women. Nephrologists working in basic and clinical science research, private practice or devoted primarily to education or administration, as well as PhD kidney researchers are a particular focus of our efforts. These seminars include information on career management and advancement across a variety of topics, such as leadership development, contract negotiations, research funding resources and mentor selection, soft skill development in interpersonal interactions, among others.
