Career Development

WISMAC Career Development Series

The Women in Science and Medicine Advisory Committee (WISMAC) organizes and sponsors seminars/workshops to promote success of our trainees and/or junior faculty. In 2011 the committee began collaboration together with the newly established Office for Faculty Diversity and Development.

Linda Wilcox, ombudsperson for Harvard Medical, was WISMAC's guest speaker in November 2009. She advised attendees on how to handle conflicts, achieve agreement and maintain relationships for the future. A video recording of her presentation is available on the intranet (accessed only on a UT Southwestern Medical Center campus-networked computer or via VPN).
