Gender inequity in academic medicine remains an important issue worldwide. While institutional programs and policies can help promote equity in recruitment, retention, scholarship, promotion, and leadership, they often do not address the physical and social isolation that many women in international academic medicine face. Creating networking opportunities through building women's groups can provide a personal and professional support structure that decreases isolation and promotes the advancement of women. Based on a multidisciplinary literature review on change processes, group formation, and women's empowerment, as well as lessons learned from personal experience, we offer 12 tips to successfully create, maintain, and support physician women's groups, employing Kotter's change-management framework. We believe that these groups can provide a structured platform for networking opportunities to advance women physicians in academic medicine worldwide.
医学领域的性别不平等仍然是一个全球性的重要问题。虽然机构计划和政策可以帮助促进招聘、保留、学术、晋升和领导力方面的公平，但它们往往不能解决许多国际学术医学领域的女性所面临的身体和社会孤立问题。通过建立女性团体来创造网络机会，可以提供一个个人和专业的支持结构，减少孤立感，并促进女性的进步。基于对变革过程、团体形成和妇女赋权的多学科文献回顾，以及个人经验教训，我们根据科特的变革管理框架，提供了 12 条成功创建、维持和支持医生女性团体的建议。我们相信，这些团体可以为全球学术医学领域的女性医生提供一个结构化的网络机会平台。
