Join us for one of six Women in GI Regional Workshops — a unique opportunity to advance gender equity, develop leadership skills, and build meaningful mentorship connections across all career stages. These regionally focused events, along with one virtual event, empower 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.

Course directors bring perspectivess from across the care team, representing a diverse range of 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.
