This week, in honor of International Women’s Day, we sit down with Shikha Jain, MD, FACP, to discuss Women in Medicine, an organization dedicated to empowering and supporting women professionals in the healthcare industry. Dr. Jain will not only enlighten us with insights into the inspiring work of Women in Medicine but also unveil some exciting developments in the realm of GI oncology. Plus, she shares her secrets to effective patient-doctor communication, ensuring every individual receives top-notch care.
Dr. Jain is a board-certified hematology and oncology physician. She is a tenured associate professor of medicine in the Division of Hematology and Oncology at the University of Illinois in Chicago. She is the Director of Communications Strategies in Medicine and the Associate Director of Oncology Communication and Digital Innovation for the University of Illinois Cancer Center.
Dr. Jain is the Founder and Chair of the Women in Medicine Summit™ as well as the Founder and Board Member of the 501©(3) nonprofit Women in Medicine™. She is also the CEO and Co-Founder of the action, advocacy and amplification 501©(3) nonprofit IMPACT and was named one of Medscapes 25 Rising Stars in Medicine in 2020, one of Modern Healthcare's Top 25 Emerging Leaders in 2019 and was also awarded the Rising Star award by LEAD Oncology in 2019.

In her clinical practice as an oncologist, she tries to incorporate patient education and outreach as often as possible. With the proper tools and guidance, she works with her patients as a team to treat the disease and helps them move through an often difficult process together with as little stress as possible. She believes in personalized and individualized care and feels the more knowledge a patient has about their own disease, the more informed a decision they are able to make.
