Women’s Faculty Association
Welcome to the Women's Faculty Association (WFA) of the Department of Pediatrics of the University of Cincinnati!
The overall goal of the WFA is to promote career development, advancement and recognition of women in the Department of Pediatrics. The WFA also provides an opportunity for women faculty and fellows to meet each other, network and participate in informal mentoring activities. These opportunities include career development seminars for both male and female faculty, as well as fellows, pediatric residents and graduate students.
The WFA has a Leadership Book Club, in which books on leadership, negotiating, mentoring and other related topics are discussed.
