Are you a woman physician or on your way to becoming one?
Real women. Real life. Real medicine.
Looking for a place to connect with fellow women docs, swap stories, offer some guidance and chat about the rollercoaster of life in medicine?
We’re Scrub Sisters
We're Scrub Sisters, a group of diverse women (and those identifying as women) physicians and physicians-in-training with a big mission: building a supportive and empowering community in the medical world. We want to create a space where women doctors can connect, share real-life stories, mentor each other, and talk about the ups and downs of life in and outside of medicine. We're excited about our Future Doc Fund to help our fellow Scrub Sisters-in-training!

Our Five Pillars

Mentorship
We exist to support each other in medicine! We believe in mentorship, guidance, and a boost in your medical journey. Let's achieve our dreams together!
Real Conversations
Medicine's not just a job, it's a wild ride. Scrub Sisters is where we chat openly about the real stuff – from juggling wedding plans in residency to navigating non-clinical paths. Join the conversation beyond the hospital walls.
Diversity & Inclusion
We're all about embracing our unique strengths. Our diversity isn't just celebrated; it's our superpower! We're dedicated to fostering inclusivity and tackling gender and ethnic disparities in the medical world.
Advocacy
Beyond our community, we're on a mission to shake things up in the medical world! Especially when it comes to trainee health. Scrub Sisters urges our members to stand up for themselves, know their rights, and challenge the status quo!
