Women of Color on Clerkship Virtual Support Group meets Monday, Aug. 21
The next Women of Color on Clerkship Virtual Support Group meeting is Monday, Aug. 21, starting at 4 p.m. AK, 5 p.m. PT, 6 p.m. MT.
Here is a message from Satoko Takeda, UWSOM student counselor: I’d like to invite all self-identified women of color, currently on clerkships, to this support group. Clerkships can often be overwhelming, as they require additional physical, mental, and schedule adjustments to deal with issues related to being a BIPOC, female-identifying medical student.
This group is designed to provide a safe space for women of color to connect and support one another in sharing their experiences during clerkship; as well as personal, academic, and social settings. This is an opportunity for you to empower yourself and your fellow women-of-color colleagues.
Benefits of this group include, but are not limited to:
- Having a safe space to process unease and/or unpleasant emotions and thoughts
- Receiving and providing supports to yourself and other fellow women of color colleagues
- Feeling refreshed and empowered to continue your study!
If you haven’t received the Zoom link yet, please register to get it by sending an email to staked@uw.edu.
