As former Dean for Faculty Affairs and Deputy Director of the HMS Center of Excellence in Women's Health, Dr. Shore’s career has been dedicated to advancing diversity and gender equity across the medical profession. A pioneer of her era, Dr. Shore was one of just eight women admitted to her Harvard Medical School class as part of an “experiment,” and went on to forge an innovative path balancing clinical care, research, administration, and family life. Dr. Shore’s story is one of seizing new opportunities, breaking through barriers, and empowering future generations. Please join us for a conversation—moderated by HMS Dean for Faculty Affairs, Dr. Grace Huang—to hear about Dr. Shore’s remarkable journey, her impact on Harvard and the broader world of medicine, and her reflections and advice for those forging their own paths in medicine and science. **Agenda** - 2:00 - 2:45 p.m. - conversation with Q&A - 2:45 - 3:30 p.m. - reception This event is sponsored by: HMS Office for Culture & Community Engagement Co-organized by: Ackerman Program on Medicine & Culture, Harvard Countway Library’s Center for the History of Medicine, HMS Center for Bioethics ![Decorative](/sites/g/files/omnuum11411/files/styles/hwp_1_1__720x720_scale/public/2025-09/Screenshot%202025-09-17%20at%201.04.09%20PM.png?itok=zs0rUbtm) --- Attachments- [ picture\_as\_pdf Opening Doors - A Conversation with Eleanor Shore - November 18, 2025 2.20.21 PM.pdf ](/sites/g/files/omnuum11411/files/2025-09/Opening%20Doors%20-%20A%20Conversation%20with%20Eleanor%20Shore%20-%20November%2018%2C%202025%202.20.21%20PM.pdf) --- See also:- [ Better Together Event ](/event-categories/better-together-event) Share on:- [ Facebook ](#) - [ Twitter ](#) - [ Linkedin ](#) Save: [ Add to calendar calendar\_today ](https://occe.hms.harvard.edu/node/291/event-feed.ics) Copy link link
