    “Thank you all for an incredible evening. I cannot count the number of classmates who came up to me expressing gratitude for the experience, as well as interest in being involved with Ignite MED.

    I feel immense gratitude to have the ability to be surrounded by such incredible people, and I know that with leaders like you all, we are headed towards a better future for women in healthcare, and healthcare as a whole. I look forward to continuing to participate in Ignite MED.”

    “It was truly inspiring to walk into a room full of women physicians and hear about their experiences, advice, and see their willingness to mentor and pave the way for future female physicians. It is clear to see how passionate yourself and the other physicians are about this program. Your advice on being brave and celebrating how far we’ve come in our medical school journey so far is a reminder I needed to hear as I get through second year! It is an amazing program that you’ve started and touches on a lot of topics that people are possibly scared to acknowledge or ask about, such as reproductive planning.”

    IGNITEMed Scholarship to G.R.I.T.

    “I wanted to express my gratitude for the IGNITEMed Scholarship to G.R.I.T. I was able to take away so much from this week, from building gravitas to becoming an effective story teller. It was also great to hear about and discuss concerns like family planning and lactation with other women in medicine. The atmosphere of the conference was so welcoming and warm, and it was great to connect with faculty from across the nation. I sincerely appreciate the scholarship opportunity IGNITEMed provided. It was also great to connect with other like minded young female medical students through IGNITEMed at the conference and go experience group coaching. The topics were empowering, and as a young future female physician just starting on her path it gave me a foundation to start off confidently.”
