Sunny Smith, MD
Sunny Smith is the founder of Empowering Women Physicians, a Family Physician and Clinical Professor at UC San Diego School of Medicine, a wife and mom. She’s received many awards for Humanism in Medicine, Excellence in Teaching, and Outstanding Community Leadership. Many physicians have been impacted by her advocacy, mentorship, teaching and coaching. She’s courageous, authentic, and a role model for empowering others.
Hala Sabry, DO
Hala is an Emergency Medicine physician, a feminist leadership coach, the founder of Physician Moms Group (PMG), and a super mom of five- with two sets of twins!
Balancing her career in medicine with her roles as a mother and entrepreneur was initially challenging. She frequently fought through fear, negative self-talk, and a recurring desire to quit, and she knew other busy professional working mothers must have experienced the same struggles.
She created PMG seven years ago to offer emotional availability and support to women like her, which now supports over 116,000 members. Hala expanded her outreach to coaching individuals and consulting businesses. She offers high performance coaching to professional women in male dominated professions who feel unseen and unheard in quest to develop their personal brand and become a confident thought leader.
Hala is a tenacious advocate for ending sexism and promoting gender and racial equality in the medical field. She believes that as a community leader, she has a responsibility to forge a path for other women and to elevate her fellow physician mothers. She’s collaborated with leading Fortune 500 companies and international organizations to further her work advocating for women physicians, patients, and children.
