We are a subcommittee of the Medical Women's International Association (MWIA) consisting of young physicians and medical students. This subcommittee was formed at the 27th International Congress in Ghana that took place in 2007. It was created to address the unique concerns and needs of young physicians and physicians-in-training worldwide. We renewed the subcommittee at this year’s 28th International Congress in Germany because even in the year 2010, we are still facing common issues of gender discrimination in training, unequal salaries compared to male colleagues, and fewer promotions to leadership and administrative positions among numerous other subjects reminding us that women have not yet achieved parity in medicine.
