Virtual Pinnacle Conference 2020

Despite the obstacles that the COVID-19 pandemic caused, Pinnacle continued its mission to support women in medicine by holding a successful virtual conference in December 2020. Our Virtual Pinnacle Conference 2020 was entitled ‘Pivoting with Pinnacle” as we all faced new challenges that the pandemic brought. At Pinnacle, we know that our community of women in medicine wears many hats and wanted to encourage them to chase their passion and make medicine work for them.
