Recognizing the unique challenges faced by women in dental academia, the Women’s Faculty Forum (WFF) emerged from a faculty retreat survey that identified key areas of need. Through interdisciplinary engagement, WFF has fostered professional growth, wellness and community-building. In just two years, this initiative has catalyzed four research projects, strengthened faculty connections through networking, and promoted well-being via movement therapy, meditation and creative outlets like singing and painting. This seminar will provide a practical toolkit for establishing similar forums, equipping institutions with strategies to support female faculty, enhance career advancement and cultivate a collaborative, inclusive academic environment.

Learning Objectives:

  • Recognize the aspirations and barriers faced by women in academic dentistry.
  • Develop strategies to foster career advancement and mentorship for female educators.
  • Establish a framework for creating institutional forums to support women faculty.
