Women in GI Regional Workshop: San Diego
Overview
Join us in San Diego, CA, for one of our Women in GI Regional Workshops. This day-long event is a unique opportunity to meet with other women to advance gender equity, develop leadership skills, and build meaningful mentorship connections across all career stages.
Each regionally focused event empowers women in GI through practical skill-building, candid conversations, and community support.
Together, we’ll break down barriers to representation and create pathways for inclusion, connection, and growth.
Our course directors bring perspectives from across the care team, representing diverse voices and experiences. Their insights come from key leadership groups, including the Women’s Committee, AGA NPPA Task Force, young gastroenterologists/early career committee, the FORWARD Program, and the AGA Future Leaders initiative.
