institution. In 1989, Dr. Debra Fiser, now Dean of UAMS College of Medicine and Dr. Teresita Angtuaco recruited other women faculty to organize a women's caucus with a mission "to inspire, encourage, and enable women physicians and scientist to realize their professional and personal goals." The Women's Faculty Development Caucus addresses the disparity between the growing numbers of women in medicine and the lack of women in leadership positions within academic medicine. Our professional development efforts have resulted in an expanding organization that is addressing the needs of all College of Medicine faculty members. We provide leadership training, mentoring/advising, and networking opportunities. All women faculty are members who receive regular notices of meetings, mentoring/advising, networking opportunities, and publications. Since launching its formal mentoring program in 1996, the caucus has matched more than 80 junior women faculty members with mentors. In 1997, the Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC) awarded the organization the first ever Women in Medicine Leadership Award in recognition of its professional development activities. If you are a junior faculty member in need of a career planning mentor, contact Glenda J. Cooper.
