Nominations for Fierce Healthcare's 2020 Women of Influence

As The Guardian reported in May, many female academics said “juggling their career with coronavirus and childcare is overwhelming.” These disparities were even more stark among Black and other non-white scientists, researchers found.

These disparate numbers amid these trying times are just the latest evidence of the extra hurdles women in healthcare often need to jump even as they achieve spectacular accomplishments.

It is in the spirit of recognizing those contributions that change the industry that we plan to honor the Fierce Healthcare Women of Influence.
