About
Scrub Sisters is more than a community; it’s a sisterhood within the medical profession. Whether you’re a seasoned physician or a student on the path to becoming a healer, you’re a vital part of our community. Join us in creating a supportive community for women physicians!
Who are the Scrub Sisters?
Scrub Sisters is a dedicated group of women (and those identifying as women) physicians and physicians-in-training on a mission to create a nurturing and empowering community within the medical profession. Our vision is to foster a space where women physicians come together to share experiences, provide mentorship, and discuss the realities of life and the practice of medicine. We will establish the Future Doc Fund to support our scrub sisters in training.
