Welcome to the Well-Being Initiative for Women Faculty of Color to Promote Professional Advancement in Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences Research! We are thrilled that you have chosen to be a part of the Program.

As a participant in the Program, you have joined a cohort of your peers – BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, and People of Color) women faculty at the Assistant or Associate Professor level in Schools and Colleges of Pharmacy and Departments of Pharmacology at research-intensive predominantly white institutions (PWIs) nationwide – for a two-year longitudinal program.  The two-year program will feature:

  • Connection through quarterly virtual and in-person conferences;
  • Coaching through quarterly, one-on-one wellness coaching sessions; and
  • Community through facilitating communication, professional networking, relationships, and exchange of information through an online platform designed to support and build the cohort as a community.

The Program Curriculum is divided into four core units that will be explored with you and your fellow cohort members during quarterly virtual and in-person conferences over the next two years.  Please mark your calendar for the 2021 virtual conference dates:

  • April 9-10, 2021 – Renew: Selfcare and Leadership (Unit 1)
  • June 25-26, 2021 – Restore: Authenticity and Self-Advocacy (Unit 2)
  • September 17-18, 2021 – Reset: Resilience and Negotiating Skills (Unit 3)
  • November 12-13, 2021 – Refocus: Goal Setting and Negotiating Advanced Roles (Unit 4)

Our goal is to support your retention, advancement and sustained professional success through wellness and well-being.  We look forward to partnering with you on this journey.  See you in April!
