AMWA EVOLVE FAQs - American Medical Women's Association

We hold three sessions per month to allow participants to choose which date to attend that month based on their current schedule. Participants only need to attend once per month. These sessions are always 90 minutes.

The program is held virtually via Zoom. There is pre-work that is issued well in advance, usually articles or videos, for you to review in your own time. Then we have monthly live zoom meetings where the leadership coach presents the module for that month and guides exercises and discussion with the “EVOLVErs”. These meetings are recorded for later viewing if participants want to review again or if they were unable to attend live that month.

Enrollees must be currently enrolled in a residency or fellowship program, or be medical school graduates who are in a gap year or planning to apply to residency.

While focused on advancing women physicians in training, the AMWA EVOLVE program is open to all genders.

Participants are expected to attend one 90-minute session per month via zoom, complete a pre-work assignment once per month (typically reading article(s), watching a video, or reflecting on prompts), and complete a brief post-module survey. This should total a maximum of 3 hours per month, half of which is self-guided.

If you miss a session, there is a second date that month to try to attend. If you miss both dates for that month’s module, we publish the recordings at the end of the month for participants to review, perhaps view the date they didn’t attend to hear further discussion, or view if they weren’t able to attend.

There is no organized 1:1 mentoring incorporated in the program; however, AMWA has a physician coaching directory with 30+ certified coaches of varying specialties and coaching focuses who would be a great resource for additional support. Many of these coaches have also been involved with the EVOLVE program in previous years. AMWA also has a separate Mentorship Program led by the AMWA Mentorship Committee that invites women in medicine of all experience levels to seek or provide mentorship as well as get involved in mentoring groups by specialty or advice.
