VOLUNTEERS WANTED FOR A RESEARCH STUDY
Participate in important interview project on women and minorities in EM!
Purpose of the study: This research seeks to understand how professional peer support influences the experiences of women and minorities in medicine. We are seeking volunteers to participate in in-depth interviews lasting 30-60 minutes. We schedule around you and will work with whatever time you have!
Why this research matters: Research has shown that women in stereotypically masculine fields often lack same-gender colleagues and mentors whose support helps them develop a sense of fit between career choice and identity. We contribute to this literature by examining how relationships formed at professional conferences can influence career fit, support networks, and workplace experiences.
