The Jacobs School of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences' DoctHERS is a network of female physicians, scientists, faculty, health care professionals, residents and students who address current issues in the medical and scientific fields in order to foster advancement, mentorship and equal opportunities for future generations of women in medicine and science.
The network provides year-round opportunities for support and development through various events. By connecting alumni to each other and to current students, we have the ability to inspire, empower and teach our peers and the next generation. Contact us for more information!
