Women in MICCAI Mentorship Session
To celebrate International Women's Day and Women’s History Month, Women in MICCAI (WiM) is organizing a mentorship session on March 25–26.
This event will bring together experienced researchers and professionals to lead discussions on topics relevant to women working in AI for medical imaging. The exact schedule and lead speakers for each session will be announced soon.
Planned discussion topics include:
- Thriving as a Woman in AI for Medical Imaging
- Navigating Multicultural Academic Environments: Finding Your Voice Without Losing Yourself
- From PhD to Impact in the Era of Agentic AI: Building Skills That Will Not Be Replaced
- Leadership in Technical Spaces
- Building Resilient Research Careers
- Ethical and Responsible AI in Medical Imaging
- Publishing, Visibility, and Building Your Research Identity
We look forward to welcoming members of the community to these conversations and creating a supportive space for mentorship, networking, and shared experiences.
WiM Research Spotlight Series
The Women in MICCAI (WiM) is thrilled to launch its monthly WiM Research Spotlight Series, a new initiative to increase the visibility of women researchers across the medical imaging community. Each month features a dedicated theme and showcases outstanding work by women whose research aligns with it.
Recent Spotlight:
January 2026: Fairness in Medical AI – We were delighted to highlight seven female researchers working on fairness, bias mitigation, and equity in healthcare AI.
Current Call for Submissions:
March 2026: Maternal and Fetal Health – We are now seeking researchers for our March spotlight. Relevant topics include fetal imaging (ultrasound/MRI), placental imaging, prenatal screening, and AI for labor and delivery monitoring.
If your work fits the March theme, we would love to feature you. Details on how to apply or nominate someone can be checked our WiM LinkedIn page
A Year in WiM: My Growth Capsule
WiM is thrilled to launch a new initiative: Your Growth Capsule.
What if you could see your growth over a year? We're creating a personal video time capsule for our community to document research journeys, milestones, and memories.
How it works:
Each month, we'll send you a few short prompts about your research and life. You record a quick video (even on your phone!), and you remain in full control of who sees it. It's a simple way to reflect on your journey and witness your own growth over time.
We already have six inspiring women on board and we're looking for more!
Even a short, simple video is perfect. Just jump in and be part of it.
