The NEXUS: Nurturing, Excelling, and Unifying Sisters in Medicine Conference 2024

A conference dedicated to Black women in medicine, The NEXUS Conference 2024 will help ABGH be the vanguard organization to enrich the pathway for more Black women physicians, researchers, and medical professionals. Black women in medicine comprise only 2.8% of the physician workforce, less than 0.8% of academic full professors, and are historically under-mentored and under-sponsored. ABGH is here to change that. The NEXUS will bring hundreds of physicians, researchers, and medical professionals together to build community, address obstacles Black women face in their journey to thrive in medicine, and work collectively with allies and industry to disrupt the status quo and make the field of medicine more equitable.

ABGH thanks its Presenting Sponsor, Johnson & Johnson, Platinum Sponsor, Pfizer, Gold sponsor, Takeda, and Silver Sponsors, Ardelyx and AbbVie, for their support for this inaugural conferance.
