What are the WIH Awards?

Application Process

The Women in Healthcare Advisory board will judge applicants on predetermined criteria. Each application will be reviewed blindly and ranked by the selection committee based on these qualifiers. It is important to the Women in Healthcare community that these awards are scored in a way that eliminates bias and promotes equity, diversity, and inclusion.

Submissions for 2024 are now closed and no longer accepting submissions.
