Women in Molecular Imaging Network (WIMIN) Interest Group: Strategic Directions

Address the pipe-line issues:
- Attracting women students from chemistry, biology, physics, engineering and clinical medicine to pursue a career in molecular imaging
- Increasing the number of women post-doctoral fellows and students in molecular imaging that make a successful transition to academic faculty positions
- Increasing the number of top women from the physical and imaging sciences and clinical medicine who specialize in molecular imaging.
- Providing early and mid-career women in molecular imaging with the skills and knowledge necessary to advance to higher level administrative positions
- Providing the industry perspective on mentoring and career challenges
- Developing global collaborations and mentoring
Collect data to identify other issues of relevance, and to review and understand the issues that impede the career advancement of women in molecular imaging
Provide a stronger, higher visibility network of women molecular imaging scientists at all career levels
Nominate women molecular imaging scientists to serve on relevant journal editorial boards
Nominate women molecular imaging scientists for membership in prestigious professional organizations/societies, e.g., National Academies
Work with other committees/groups that have the shared goal to advance women in molecular imaging sciences.
