We have the senior positions. We have to change it.\u201d\u201cYou\u2019re missing talent. You\u2019re missing talent of the women who have decided not to go into Cardiology. I say to a lot of my male colleagues...don\u2019t you care about the health of our specialty? Don\u2019t you want the very best people going into it?\u201d\u201cHow great is that--to open up an artery in the middle of the night?... What could be better than that?...Why would you not want to be a cardiologist? Frankly, maybe the field is not so friendly to women...And that bothers me greatly because I love the specialty.\u201d\u201cTo those who have been given much, much is expected. That\u2019s what people like me should do.\u201dDr. Bob Harrington\n\n\n\nShow notes - Diversity and Inclusion\n\n\n\nWhat are the gender disparities in the field of Cardiology?\n\n\n\n45.8% of residents and fellows in ACGME-accredited programs are women. 14.9% of cardiologists are women. 8% of interventional cardiologists are women [1]. 30.6% of male faculty were full professors, while 15.9% of female faculty are full professors [2].Men are more likely to be influenced by positive attributes of a field, while women are more likely to be influenced by negative attributes [3].3% of percutaneous coronary interventions in the United States are performed by female operators [4].\n\n\n\nWhat is mentorship, sponsorship, and allyship?\n\n\n\nA mentor provides advice and helps someone develop a skill.A sponsor is an advocate who helps someone secure career advancement opportunities.An ally partners with people, utilizing their power and influence to champion the rights of others [5].According to some studies, women report less sponsorship experiences than men. Additionally, in women it seems to translate less frequently into experiences that further their career (speaking engagements, serving on editorial boards, etc) [6].\u201cI\u2019m a mentor to a few people, I'm a sponsor to many, and I\u2019m an ally to all.\u201d - Dr.
