Women Advancing & Achieving in Medicine (WAAM) is an organization of Baystate Health's women physicians and mid-level providers that was formed in September 2005 with the goals of refining its members' skills in the areas of:
- leadership
- mentorship
- scholarship
- networking.
WAAM membership has since grown to 900 women providers.
2011-2012 Theme: Information Technology
In honor of this theme we have created a WAAM reflections blog site. The purpose of this blog is to share ideas and tips for a more effective work and home life as health care providers.
