CardioNerds (Amit Goyal and Daniel Ambinder), Dr. Leticia Helms (Internal medicine resident at Columbia University), Dr. Silia DeFilippis (AHFT FIT at Columbia University), and Dr. Anu Lala (AHFT faculty and program director at Mount Sinai Hospital) to discuss diversity and inclusion in academic cardiology and more in this installment of the Narratives in Cardiology Series. The President of the New York ACC Chapter Dr. Hima Vidula discusses D&I initiatives at her chapter. Episode introduction and audio editing by CardioNerds Academy Intern, Shivani Reddy. \n\n\n\nAlthough women compose 50% of medical students in the United States, cardiology remains a male dominated field. Gender disparity is even more prominent when we look at leadership positions. In this episode we discuss why and how cardiology (and advanced heart failure) can be such a rewarding field for women. The episode reflects on the significant contributions women have made to the field in the past and how they continue to move the field with respect to clinical care and research.\n\n\n\nThe\xa0PA-ACC & CardioNerds Narratives in Cardiology\xa0is a multimedia educational series jointly developed by the\xa0Pennsylvania Chapter ACC, the\xa0ACC Fellows in Training Section, and the CardioNerds Platform with the goal to\xa0promote diversity, equity, and inclusion in cardiology. In this series, we host inspiring faculty and fellows from various ACC chapters to discuss their areas of expertise and their individual narratives. Join us for these captivating conversations as we celebrate our differences and share our joy for practicing cardiovascular medicine. We thank our project mentors Dr. Katie Berlacher and Dr. Nosheen Reza.\n\n\n\nVideo Version\xa0\u2022\xa0Notes\xa0\u2022\xa0Production Team\n\n\n\nClaim free CME just for enjoying this episode!

You know, our ability in one role, maybe it makes us better at another.\u201d\u201cI felt like being there was like in medical Disneyland for research.\u201d - Anu Lala\u201cHeart failure is unique in that it truly requires that cross disciplinary collaboration at the precipice of what is often life and death.\u201d - Anu Lala\u201cIt points to the importance of seeing people do things before you who look like you.\u201d - Anu Lala\u201cAll human beings want to feel heard.
