Women In Hematology Working Group

Offering Career Development learning opportunities: Working to identify challenges and opportunities related to mentorship, the group explores career development topics such as retaining women in the hematology workforce, positioning women to become leaders in hematology, and supporting work-life integration and wellness.

Fostering an intentional and supportive community: ASH hosts the Women in Hematology Networking Reception as part of the annual meeting activities, where women can gather in an informal environment, interact with peers, connect with role models and potential mentors, and become inspired and empowered to overcome the challenges women face in hematology.

Providing Scholarship pathways: The group supports research efforts to elucidate how gender intersects with hematology-related biology as well as the relationship between gender and professional achievement in the field.  

Increasing Female Representation Across the Society: The working group is engaged in efforts to strengthen the visibility of and recognition for the contributions of female hematologists, including active nomination of WIH for ASH awards and committee membership positions.
