Warren Alpert Medical School partners with Time’s Up Healthcare as founding signatory.
The Warren Alpert Medical School is among six medical schools to declare support for the goals of Time’s Up Healthcare, a new affiliate of the Time’s Up Foundation that will focus on ensuring safe and equitable workplaces for women in the health care industry.
