JWPA builds a strong, connected community for women physicians across New Jersey — through mentorship, leadership development, advocacy, and community outreach.
What began in 2008 as an informal community of women physicians has grown into a statewide organization — formally established as a nonprofit in 2018. JWPA supports women physicians through mentorship, education, and advocacy across New Jersey.
From newly practicing physicians to those with decades of experience, JWPA is a home for every stage of a woman physician's career.
JWPA focuses on mentorship, leadership development, advocacy, and community outreach to advance women in medicine across New Jersey.
A space for women physicians to connect, support early-career physicians, and answer questions — a developing program bringing together JWPA members across specialties.
Leadership panels, workshops, and skill-building sessions that equip women physicians for leadership roles across hospital systems and academic medicine.
Promote equity and representation in healthcare through awareness campaigns, policy education, and community-centered engagement.
Voices from the women physicians who make JWPA what it is.
Each month we celebrate a woman physician who exemplifies leadership, compassion, and community impact across New Jersey.
“Providing medical care is a true privilege. I am proud of the impact I make and deeply grateful for everyone who made it possible.”
