Women Leaders Platform: App-based Coaching, Mentorship & Leadership
Innovative platform trains senior women faculty to mentor and coach junior colleagues, creating self-sustaining leadership pipeline that scales women's representation in healthcare executive positions.
Women remain dramatically underrepresented in healthcare leadership despite comprising half of medical school graduates. The Women Leaders Platform (WLP) will create sustainable infrastructure supporting women's advancement through technology-enabled coaching and mentorship. It will train senior women faculty as professionally certified coaches who mentor junior colleagues, creating self-perpetuating leadership pipeline. The scalable model expands across University of California Health and nationally, fundamentally transforming how institutions develop, recruit, and retain women healthcare leaders.
