The Lancet Commission Educational Symposium

Day 1: February 17, 2023

During this one-day symposium, healthcare clinicians will explore strategies to tackle inequities in diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of heart disease in women; to advance innovative solutions for early detection and targeted management; to unravel the underlying biological mechanisms that contribute to sex-specific differences in outcomes, and to finally decrease the global CVD burden in women.

• Review the global and regional epidemiology of CVD in women

• Address sex- and gender-based disparities in treatment and diagnosis

• Learn about well-established, sex-specific, and under-recognized risk factors of CVD in women

• Recognize the most vulnerable populations and learn about the challenges they face

• Discuss next steps in the agenda to improve outcomes and care for women with CVD

The RISE Conference

The 2023 RISE Conference is a full-day program focused on bringing women physicians together with the organizations that represent them to inspire our continued journey towards equity in medicine. Join us as we engage physicians and leadership across industries and subspecialties to create positive change for women in medicine. Together, we RISE.

As a results of attending the RISE program, participants will be able to:

• Articulate strategies for organizational policy changes in support of improved diversity equity and inclusion.

• Identify best practices for bias mitigation within medical professional settings.

• Connect with industry-driven opportunities for scientific and professional development.

• Gain insight and exposure to what leading medical and non-medical organizations are doing in support of women.

• Chart a strategic path forward for professional success.
