Dr. Divya Korpu, a clinical cardiac electrophysiologist and cardiologist at Mayo Clinic, has been elected as Member-at-Large to the American Medical Association Women Physicians Section Governing Council for the 2026–2028 term.

Voting for the Women Physicians Section election ended April 30.
The role is a nationally elected leadership position within one of the AMA’s major physician sections, representing women physicians across the United States.
“I was honored to be elected as a Member-at-Large in the Women Physicians Section of the American Medical Association for the 2026 - 2028 term, serving on the Women Physicians Section Governing Council,” Korpu said.

“The section not only champions equity, representation, and physician well-being, but also actively shapes AMA policy through high-impact resolutions addressing pay equity, leadership advancement, workforce sustainability, and inclusive practice environments,” she said.
The section also addresses issues affecting international medical graduates and works to promote equitable opportunities within the physician workforce.
“As part of its governing council, I contribute to strategic direction, national advocacy initiatives, and efforts to elevate the voices of women physicians in key decision-making forums,” she said.
Korpu is board-certified in internal medicine, cardiovascular medicine and clinical cardiac electrophysiology. According to information provided by her office, she is also certified in cardiac echocardiography and nuclear cardiiology.
She completed medical school at Sikkim Manipal Institute of Medical Sciences before moving to the United States for postgraduate medical training. She later completed her internal medicine residency, cardiovascular disease fellowship and clinical cardiac electrophysiology subspecialty fellowship at Advocate Illinois Masonic Medical Center in Chicago.
Korpu said her election to the Wisconsin Medical Society Board of Directors expands her work in physician advocacy and healthcare policy at the state level.
“In this role, I have the opportunity to contribute to statewide physician advocacy, health policy initiatives, and efforts aimed at improving patient care and supporting the medical community across Wisconsin,” she said.
She added that the position reflects her commitment to leadership at both the state and national levels and to addressing challenges facing healthcare and the medical profession.
