\u201cWomen in medicine, be bold.\u201d Medical World, powerful women are here to stay. Dr. Vineet (Vinny) Arora, Professor of Medicine at University of Chicago, an exemplary Woman in Medicine and Leadership, shares snippets of her own story, valuable career advice to folks at all levels of training, and fascinating data about the gender disparities that exist in training, promotion, and pay.\xa0 We hope you\u2019ll learn from this episode, whether you have faced or anticipate facing these struggles as a Woman in Medicine or as a member of another marginalized group, or whether you\u2019re an ally and want to learn more about the issue.
\n
\n\n\nWomen are entering medical school now more than ever, and are learning to provide the best possible care to patients (didn\u2019t you see that patients of female physicians have significantly lower mortality rates than patients of male physicians? (Tsugawa et al., 2016)).\xa0 The modern medical woman wants to teach, mentor, and lead--and be fairly evaluated, and promoted. That\u2019s where We In Medicine (both women and men) have some work to do.\xa0 Because gender disparities (and other disparities hinging on identity) do exist.
\n
\n\n\n\nN.b. This episode is our inaugural in what we hope will be a Women in Medicine series for the Curbsiders.\xa0 We have many more topics with which we\u2019d like to engage, from career trajectory to imposter syndrome to sexual harassment to balancing career and personal lives (as inequity is not only at work (Khullar. Being a Doctor is Hard. It\u2019s Harder for Women. NYT 2017)), to conversations about race, gender, and LGBTQ identity in medicine.\xa0 We\u2019re passionate, at The Curbsiders, about all these topics, and we want to dive deep into how to make Medicine a more welcoming and ceiling-less place for all.\xa0 We can\u2019t wait to bring this series to you, not to mention to bring some more fabulous female experts on air.
