Brave Enough CME Conference 2025

This conference will specifically address how to combat the isolation of women working in healthcare with strategies to foster deeper connections and promote accountability. The conference will cover specific topics to create allyship and peer mentorship by focusing on topics women in medicine face, in order to leave the conference with strong allies. We want every woman to leave with a group of friends that can be there for her all year through. Attendees will have time to connect with phenomenal speakers, ask questions, and experience live coaching in a protected, safe environment.
