UT Southwestern Medical Center has been recognized for its decades of commitment to developing female leaders in medicine and science and its far-reaching impact in supporting and advancing women’s careers.

UT Southwestern’s Women in Science and Medicine Advisory Committee (WISMAC) and the Office of Women’s Careers (OWC) have jointly received the 2023 Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC) Group on Women in Medicine and Science Leadership Award for an Established Program in an Organization.

WISMAC, established in 1994, is composed of appointed faculty, administration, fellows, and students who advocate for the advancement of women in science and medicine in an inclusive environment that promotes their success at UT Southwestern. Among its activities, the Committee has spearheaded efforts that resulted in on-campus child care centers and lactation rooms; participated in initiatives to improve campus safety; established a mentoring and networking program aimed at retaining female faculty; and engaged in UTSW’s annual Compensation Equity Study.
