The Women of the Vanderbilt Institute for Surgery and Engineering: Providing networks to connect and thrive [WIE From Around the World]

Abstract

As they round the corner into their fifth year of existence, the Women of the Vanderbilt Institute for Surgery and Engineering (VISE) (or WoV, as they refer to themselves) are taking stock of all they have achieved. Led by students at VISE in Nashville, Tennessee, and made up predominantly of Ph.D. students, the group’s goals are to foster community, discuss research, and promote the success of women in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) fields. And they are well on their way to making their impact even larger.
