Health Sciences Faculty Equity Committee
The HS Faculty Equity Committee (FEC) was established in 2004. The committee is made up of sixteen senior faculty who represent various divisions and departments in the School of Medicine and the Skaggs School of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences and is charged with overseeing faculty equity (gender, ethnicity, and salary). FEC members are actively engaged in the annual review of faculty demographics and trends, strategic initiatives that promote faculty diversity, faculty development programs at UC San Diego, and the comprehensive review of the HS Faculty Climate Survey and make recommendations for the action plan.

Women in Health Sciences
The Women in Health Sciences (WIHS) Planning Committee was founded in 2014. WIHS organizes two events each year, one in the fall and one in the spring. The goals of the events are to promote leadership and networking for women in academic medicine. The committee fosters fair and equitable treatment of women faculty in Health Sciences and encourages women to lead and dream the impossible dream. The Committee leadership includes Christina Sigurdson, DVM, PhD, Beth Printz, MD, PhD, Wendy Campana, PhD, Dorothy Sears, PhD, and has 33 members.
- Promote leadership and career development among women faculty in the Health Sciences.
- Facilitate networking of various basic research and clinical women faculty for exchanging information, and discussing the goals achieved of departmental women leadership committees.
