Award Information

The Women in Nuclear Medicine Committee is charged with promoting women physicians and scientists in nuclear medicine and molecular imaging; fostering the development of professional interests; addressing problems encountered in the practice of nuclear medicine; promoting leadership and career development in women; raising awareness of scientific contributions of women in nuclear medicine; recognizing the challenges of balancing career and family; promoting fair and equitable treatment; and improving the climate for women in nuclear medicine in all stages of their careers.
 
Through this mission, the WINM Committee has developed the Women in Nuclear Medicine She Paved the Way Lifetime Achievement Award which seeks to recognize women that have dedicated a significant part of their career to “paving the way” for other women in the field of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging. Some of the most notable scientific discoveries that catapulted the trajectory of the field were made by women; Marie Curie and Rosalyn Yalow to name only a few.
