MomMD wants to honor and acknowledge the strength of women in
medicine, and is proud to announce the Woman of the
Month Award. There is no prize, just the honor of being selected.
You can enter yourself or nominate someone else (if they choose not
to be listed, another person may be chosen). If you win, your name,

into the MomMD Woman of the Year competition, where MomMD members
will have the opportunity to vote for their favorite woman.
