PGY-Mom:

A Group for Physician-Moms in Training at Vanderbilt

Who Are We?

What Do We Do?

How To Get Involved

PGY-Mom is a group dedicated to the unique needs and interests of physician moms in graduate medical training (residency or fellowship) at Vanderbilt. Formed in 2016, we have members from a wide variety of departments and specialties. Being a mom is not a requirement for membership; we want to support those who already have children as well as those just considering having children while in training.
