Mission:
To connect and support female physicians in a way that allows them to thrive in all aspects of their lives: professional and personal.

Vision:
To create a connected force of female physicians that will not only advocate for one another professionally, but also support each other in balancing our many other roles. We will be a sisterhood that will band together in times of adversity, celebrate each other's successes and support charitable causes we are passionate about.

Goals:
• Improve the wellbeing of female physicians: emotional, social, professional and physical.

• Reduce burnout and ensure an adequate support system for female physicians in need.

• Achieve gender equality in our medical communities.

• Ensure a safe work environment for female physicians, free from harassment and discrimination.

• Provide opportunities for socializing, decompressing, networking and camaraderie.

• Annual wellness conference open to all Canadian female physicians.

• Make regular and meaningful contributions, financial and otherwise, to charities supporting the health and wellness of women and their families.
