The goal of the project is to contribute some action or strategy that will support more women moving into leadership positions. We believe this project will support the program goal of increasing the number of women in leadership at all levels of the digital health ecosystem.  We would like to thank our mentor Janine Cox for supporting us with this project. \n  \nAIDH Women in Digital Health Coffee Connections Pilot Program\nWe are inviting members of the Australasian Institute of Digital Health (AIDH) to take part in our pilot program for women currently working within the digital health industry or interested in working within the industry. While our sector continues to evolve and at a time when working  from home is now the norm\, we recognise that it may be harder to connect with others to explore issues faced by women working in our industry. This pilot program will provide a platform to discuss these issues\, establish new connections and network with fellow members of the AIDH. \n  \nThis program offers participants the chance to:\n\nLink up with industry peers\, connect and expand your professional network across Australia.\nShare perspectives with women in different roles and stages of their career.\nDiscuss some of the most important issues facing women in digital health.\n Take time out of your busy day for an informal coffee and chat!\n\n  \nHow the pilot program works:\nDuring this program\, you will be matched with a different industry peer for 3 separate ‘virtual coffee catch-up’ sessions\, over 3 weeks. We will connect you with a new participant each week and during that week we encourage you to set up a 30-minute virtual catch-up at a time suitable for you and your coffee partner. Each meeting will centre on the key discussion topic for that week and allow you to mutually share your experiences in this area. \nKey topics and supporting content will be provided each week to help direct the conversations. These topics include: \n\nWellbeing\, Juggling Priorities and Avoiding Burnout\nDealing with Difficult Conversations & Stakeholders\nImposter Syndrome\n\nWhile these topics will help guide the conversation\, they are just a starting point and we hope that these will enable you to share rich experiences with your fellow participants. \n  \nKey Dates:\n\nVirtual Expression of Interest meeting/Welcome session\, Friday 8th July 12.30 – 1.00 PM AEST\nCoffee catch-up 1\, week beginning Monday 18th July\nCoffee catch-up 2\, week beginning Monday 25th July\nCoffee catch-up 3\, week beginning Monday 1st August\nWrap Up meeting/Closing session\, Friday 12th August 12.30 – 1.00 PM AEST\n\n  \nFAQS:\nHow do I sign up? \n\nPlease complete the registration form available at https://forms.office.com/r/UxuFTVKECK\nYour personal information will only be used for the purpose of the pilot program.\n\nHow do I arrange a time/date with my coffee buddy? \n\nOnce you receive your coffee partner match\, it is then up to you both to coordinate a time/date for the virtual coffee catch-up during that week.

SUMMARY:Education with Values Summit - 13 Nov
DESCRIPTION:ABOUT\n“Theme – Why Educating with Values is Important and What Should This Look Like in 2021 and Beyond” \nEducating with values equips young people with the mindsets and skills needed to be successful in their life pursuits. However\, much of the focus in education is on meeting the needs and values of material civilisation. \nThe centrality of values based learning offers a way for education to stay responsive and relevant. Values education is about recognising that values are the innate principles and standards by which we live our life. Values and their associated practices form the cultural fabric of our families\, our communities and our societies. \n  \nREGISTER\nRegister via Humantix >> \n  \n  \nPROGRAM\nDownload the Summit Program (pdf) \n  \n  \n  \n  \n AFMWThe Australian Federation of Medical Women (AFMW) is a not for profit\, politically neutral\, non sectarian\, non government organisation that seeks to improve the health of all Australians\, especially the health of women and children. \nEvents and Updates coordination by AFMW\, on behalf of the Australian Federation of Medical Women (AFMW)\, its affiliated Australian state and territory partners and international networks and supporters.
