The Leadership, Engagement, and Action in Diversity (LEAD) Program is a six-month mentored pathway opportunity created by the SGO Committee on Diversity, Inclusion and Health Equity (DIHE). In it’s second year, the LEAD 2.0 program offers Underrepresented in Medicine (URiM) trainees sponsorship, resources, and a network to support their development as future gynecologic oncologists.
This initiative is fully dedicated to formalizing, improving, and strengthening the pathway of URiM trainees in preparation for a successful match to gynecologic oncology fellowship, with the express goal of diversifying our field.
