American Society of Regional Anesthesia and Pain Medicine May 2018 - 10

about the barriers that prevent women from pursuing our profession,
ways to address them, and steps we can take to encourage greater
female interest. We need division chiefs, department chairs,
conference organizers, journal editors, and awards committee
members to join in the discussion on how we can elevate the
profiles of women in regional anesthesia and pain medicine. We
value the perspectives of our male and female advocates, sponsors,
and mentors to understand how we can work together to improve
gender diversity and effect positive change in our specialty.
In short, if you're an ASRA member, WRAPM needs your help-and
wants to help you! Please join us, and together, we can create
new opportunities to advance the role of women in regional
anesthesiology and pain medicine. We can't wait to see all of
you at our next meeting at the 2018 World Congress on Regional
Anesthesia and Pain Medicine in New York!
