Practice Gap

Across healthcare and biomedical research, women comprise a sizable majority of the workforce but a small minority of leaders and are consistently paid less than male counterparts. They are also more likely to leave their profession than men. A study of 300,000 physicians in academic medicine from 2014-2019 found women were 25% more likely to leave academia than men.

General Program Learning Objectives

As a result of this program, attendees will be able to:

1. Explain the structure of gender bias.
2. Name and recognize barriers affecting women in science and healthcare.
3. Identify strategies to support all women in the organization.
4. Apply personal strategies to overcome gender bias.
