Second WIN Meeting a Huge Success!

After the wild success of the first ever Women in Neurology (WIN) Meeting in September, a second meeting was held this month and was just as productive and popular as the first! Several female members of the residency, staff and faculty met at the home of Sara Schaefer, former Yale neurology resident and current associate program director for snacks, drinks, and conversation. It’s exciting to see such an important forum for women in the field to meet, share experiences, and foster mentorship relationships. The group was so caught up in conversation that a photo was not taken until most people had left, but here are a few of the residents and faculty who stayed a bit later. Thanks to all for a great evening!
