Pitt Pediatrics congratulates Catherine Forster, MD, MS, FAAP, and Maha Kaissi, MD, for receiving the Collaborative Impact Award. This award was announced at the Pediatric Hospital Medicine (PHM) Conference in Orlando, Florida in July 2022.
Forster and Kaissi, along with their colleagues in the APP’s Section of Hospital Medicine Women in Pediatric Hospital Medicine Sub-Committee, have envisioned creating a community to engage all members of PHM who identify as women. Their mission is to promote equity by creating a supportive venue for dialogue and education, developing opportunities for mentorship and career development, identify resources for work life integration, and by engaging, including, and collaborating with all members of PHM.
