I recently took the opportunity to begin Brene Brown’s podcast, “Unlocking Us”, specifically the episode regarding FFT’s. What the heck is an FFT? For the purposes of this post, I will instead use TFT’s in an effort to keep the language less raw. Terrible First Times (TFT) – you know, that first time that you […]

On March 4, 2020 Women and Healthcare Management and Medical Group Management Association of MA/RI were able to collaborate and put on a great event, focused on students and networking! This co-sponsored event drew in over 70 attendees including members from both organizations, non-members, students from local universities and young healthcare professionals from nearby healthcare […]

My career in healthcare started in longitudinal qualitative research and programming, and project and data management have been foundational in all of my professional roles. In this blog I will focus on a specific application of data. Data work best when you have them, understand them, and apply them (and YES, data are plural!) No […]

Our most recent fall forum was such a heartwarming opportunity to grow and collaborate with other women in healthcare. Not only did we have two knowledgeable professional, strong women give their time to share what they’ve learned on their path, but more than 60 women participated during the presentation with their tips, websites, or strategies […]

With just under 30 women attending, Women in Healthcare management was proud to host our second summer event of the year. We had such an overwhelmingly positive response to our venue, Anthony’s Coal Fired Pizza, that we chose to use them again! Exceptional food and service all around! It was an honor to meet so […]

Happy Summer! The WHCM outdoor networking summer event was a great success at Anthony’s Coal Fired Pizza on June 24th. What a wonderful way to spend a beautiful summer evening outside on the patio networking with 32 colleagues, acquaintances, and new and old friends! Thank you to the members and nonmembers who attended and a […]

Recently I had the opportunity to attend a collaborative strategic development conference for service line development of new technology within our institution. I was skeptical to say the least, to see the span of attendees that would be joining from my institution. OR leadership, surgeons, pharma reps and leadership, and surgeons. Yikes, is this a […]

Our spring forum team put together an engaging and topical panel discussion this past April.  Moderator Claudine Swartz, a WHCM steering committee member, did a fantastic job moderating for a second year in a row; asking thoughtful questions, and playing off the conversation to keep each panelist engaged.  As a marketing manager for a health […]

There is nothing like ringing in the first month of the New Year with fellow women in healthcare. It is always an honor for me to meet our member and non-member attendees at these casual events, and January 29th’s event at Joe’s in Dedham did not disappoint! What a great group of 20+ guests sharing […]
