Women now comprise half of medical students in Canada yet continue to be underrepresented in general radiology and its subspecialties. The underrepresentation of women in interventional radiology is even more profound. The literature has suggested various factors that might contribute to this gender disparity, including a lack of role models and mentors, exposure during early medical training, and decisions regarding work-life balance. This article explores the gender disparity among Canadian interventional radiologists, highlights the attrition of women through their radiology training, and discusses recruitment strategies to increase diversity in this rewarding field.
如今，加拿大的医学生中有一半是女性，但她们在普通放射科及其亚专业领域的代表性仍然不足。女性在介入放射学领域的代表性甚至更为不足。文献中提出了各种可能导致这种性别差距的因素，包括缺乏榜样和导师、在早期医学培训期间的接触，以及关于工作与生活平衡的决策。本文探讨了加拿大介入放射学家中的性别差距，强调了女性在放射科培训过程中的流失，并讨论了增加这一回报丰厚领域多样性的招聘策略。
