Comitê de Mulheres do ACP Brazil Chapter define ações para 2025
(December 2024) O Comitê Feminino de Saúde, recém-criado, delineou suas principais ações e objetivos para 2025. O foco será no empoderamento e promoção da liderança feminina na medicina.
Liderado pelas médicas Fernanda Giglio Petreche, MD, FACP, Maryana Cartaxo Dias Novaes, MD e Norma Grunspun, MD, FACP, a iniciativa visa enfrentar os desafios enfrentados pelas mulheres médicas, como a escassez de liderança feminina e a falta de oportunidades em subespecialidades médicas.
Entre as possíveis ações propostas para 2025 estão eventos de capacitação para mulheres médicas que visam posições de liderança, programas de mentoria financeira, e parcerias com ONGs que apoiam o acolhimento de mulheres vítimas de violência. O Comitê também pretende apoiar o empreendedorismo feminino na área da saúde, incentivando médicas a empreenderem e a expandirem suas carreiras.
A comunicação das ações será ampliada por meio da produção de videocasts e webinars em parcerias com instituições de saúde.
Para os primeiros eventos, estão previstas palestras com mulheres líderes e especialistas.
O Comitê, que tem como prioridade o fortalecimento da presença feminina na medicina, busca estabelecer uma agenda de parcerias nacionais e internacionais para ampliar seu impacto.
Em breve divulgaremos mais novidades!

2024 John Tooker Evergreen Awards
(April 2024) The John Tooker Evergreen Awards Program provides opportunities to recognize the valuable contributions of ACP Chapters as they strive to enrich, educate, and engage membership. In 2024, ACP recognized ten winning chapters. Our Chapter received the 2024 John Tooker Evergreen Award for our initiative, Faculty Development Program
Faculty Development Program
In 2023, ACP National encouraged chapters to lead the organization of a Faculty Development Program (FDP). Our chapter took on the challenge of strengthening our role as a leading provider of high-quality medical education programs in the country. The three-day event included eight 25-minute medical education sessions where participants engaged in group discussion followed by debriefing sessions at the end of each day. The event attracted 250 participants from 13 different states in Brazil, which is half of the total number of states in the country. We believe that our low-cost model, based on alliances with local centers and volunteers, can be implemented in other international and national chapters.
For more information on the John Tooker Evergreen Awards, contact Dana Acord.
