Elizabeth Blackwell Society

The Elizabeth Blackwell Society, started by a group of first year medical students in 2008, seeks to inspire, empower, and connect women in medicine. EBS is a student run group dedicated to highlighting the accomplishments of women in medicine, addressing the unique lifestyles women in medicine face, and fostering relationships between faculty and students.

We seek to:

• Promote the academic, personal, and professional growth of women in medicine.
• Foster a cohesive, supportive network of Penn Medicine women by facilitating camaraderie between women in all stages of their medical career in both structured and informal settings.
• Empower women as mentors by providing women students, residents, fellows, and faculty access to mentors and mentees.
• Develop women as professional leaders by sponsoring workshops and seminars on professional development and leadership.
• Promote women as leaders of community outreach by organizing community service projects that promote women's health.
• Collaborate with men and people of all gender identities in accomplishing these goals.
