"I firmly believe in the power of raising our voices to highlight the ongoing disparities that persist in our field. As a member of initiatives like Scrubs & Heels and the American Medical Women's Association / AMWA, I actively participate in discussions that confront these inequalities head-on. Together, by standing united and unapologetically addressing the challenges women face, we can forge a path toward true equality and inspire future generations of female leaders in medicine." - Susan Kais, MD
