The Women's Professional Network (WomenPro) at Hannover Medical School (MHH) is a newly founded network. The focus is on promoting and networking female physicians, scientists and (future) executives.
The aim is to improve the networking of female specialists, increase their visibility and support them in management positions.
To this end, WomenPro organizes events where knowledge can be acquired and experiences exchanged.
- Platform for networking, professional impulses and collegial support - so that women* in university medicine can be visible, networked and empowered.
- Greater visibility for the achievements and potential of female specialists.
- Support with the transition to management roles and career development
- Open to all members of the MHH - female researchers, physicians, Clinical Department and scientific members as well as prospective executives.
