Honoring Women in Medicine
On March 8, 2025, we had the privilege of hosting an extraordinary event dedicated to celebrating women in medicine. This gathering also focused on fostering continuous medical education. The event brought together brilliant minds from the fields of cardiology and neuroscience. Participants enjoyed insightful discussions, knowledge-sharing, and a sense of community that left a lasting impact.

The event began with an engaging session by Prof. Dr. Alev Arat Özkan. She shed light on microvascular disease in women. She emphasized the importance of recognizing the unseen challenges. Following her, Prof. Dr. Nihan Turhan Çağlar provided a deep dive into coronary artery disease in female patients.
Addressing Critical Topics
We also addressed several critical topics. Assoc. Prof. Sinem Çakal explored angina pectoris in cancer patients. After that, Prof. Dr. Yasemin Gürsoy Özdemir highlighted the complexities of perfusion deficits. This was particularly relevant despite successful revascularization.
Next, Dr. Dilara Yüksel discussed cardiovascular risks during pregnancy. She provided invaluable insights into maternal heart health. Shifting focus to neurological perspectives, Dr. Zeynep Fırat examined structural and functional differences in the female brain through neuroimaging.
Importance of Networking
After a networking break, Mrs. Özlem Özdeniz took the stage. She emphasized the necessity of performance and expertise beyond gender stereotypes in the medical field. Her insights were crucial in enhancing our understanding of the roles women play in healthcare.
The afternoon sessions continued with Mrs. Eda Horozlu. She engaged participants in a dynamic exploration of emotional intelligence and creative drama in medical practice. Her innovative approaches to patient care captivated the audience.
Engaging Workshops
One of the most engaging moments was our interactive Aroma Therapy Workshop. Participants explored the connection between emotional well-being, cognitive function, and heart health. This session, led by experts, provided practical insights into the therapeutic benefits of aromatherapy. These applications can have beneficial uses in medical practice.
A Celebration of Women's Contributions
As the event progressed, it transformed from a mere learning experience into a celebration of women’s contributions to healthcare. The panel discussion ignited valuable conversations. We explored the evolving role of female medical professionals and the challenges they face. Women continue to break barriers in the field, inspiring future generations.
We wrapped up the day with heartfelt appreciation for all speakers, attendees, and organizers. This event was more than a series of lectures. It showcased the power of collaboration, knowledge-sharing, and the unwavering dedication of women in medicine.
Thank you to everyone who joined us. We look forward to more opportunities to connect, learn, and grow together in our shared mission to advance women's roles in healthcare.
