Women In Critical Care Update (WICC)

In keeping with our mission of offering mentorship and an opportunity to build a community, WICC presented a new format on March 28th, the Fireside Consultancy. This Fireside Consultancy was led by Dr. Hua, Co-Chair of WICC where 4 WICC participants presented focused issues that they were facing. The consultancy uses a structured format where individuals present a problem they are experiencing to the group at large. Group members provide feedback and support, and the individual with the query is given a chance to reflect. This session was well attended and received encouraging feedback. We hope to continue this with a second session in August. 

WICC also held a meeting at the Annual Meeting in Seattle which was attended by several BOD members as well as other members. Dr. Siddiqui (Co-Chair WICC) presented an update on WICC activities and suggestions were made by participants for future plans. This was followed by a joint get-together with the Early Career Intensivists group. This event was also very well attended and provided participants with an opportunity to network and build new friendships. 

We will see you all at the next Fireside Consultancy and at the ASA!
