Shikha Jain: From Burnout to Breakthrough – How These Entrepreneurs Are Empowering Women in Healthcare

Shikha Jain shared on LinkedIn:

“Thrilled to Share!

Honored to be featured in USA Today in the article, ‘From Burnout to Breakthrough: How These Entrepreneurs Are Empowering Women in Healthcare,’ highlighting the work of the Women in Medicine nonprofit!

Women are driving transformation in healthcare improving patient care, innovating solutions, and leading teams. Yet challenges like burnout, pay gaps, and limited access to leadership roles persist. That’s why Women in Medicine focuses on leadership development, mentorship, and research to create a more equitable and supportive environment for women in healthcare.

This recognition is not just about the work we’ve done but a call to action for what still needs to be achieved. When women lead, healthcare systems thrive. I’m grateful to USA Today for amplifying this message and to everyone in the Women in Medicine community for being part of this movement.

Thank you USA TODAY and Jessica Abo for highlighting us, along with other amazing women doing important work in this space!

Together, we’re building a brighter, more inclusive future for healthcare.”
