Opinion: Abundant research shows gender disparities in medicine, but too few know about it. #NeedHerScience
Medicine has an abundance of highly trained and qualified women. So why are there so few of them at the highest levels, including full professors, chairs, and deans?
For many years, the belief was that when there were enough women in medicine, critical mass alone would correct such gender disparities. Yet this theory has not panned out and it is now clear that despite the fact there are many qualified women for any given leadership position, they are not promoted equitably.
