Women's Faculty Development Caucus
The Women's Caucus 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.  The active committees are 1) WIT or Women in Training 2) Research 3) Publications 4) Professional Development and 5) Mentoring.

The Women's Caucus was founded in 1989 as a professional development and mentoring program to help women advance to leadership positions. The cofounders were by Debra H. Fiser, M.D., a longtime pediatrics faculty member and chairman of the Department of Pediatrics who was named COM dean in 2005 and Teresita Angtuaco, M.D., a professor of Radiology.  Both are previous winners of the Outstanding Woman Faculty Award.

The Caucus Officers are elected every two years from Executive Committee membership.  They lead and guide the collective work of the Caucus Committees.
The Officers attend and advise the WFDC Executive Committee which consists of past presidents and chairs and co-chairs of committees.
