Every effort must be made by the leaders in our field, as well as by every individual cardiothoracic surgeon, to assure equal opportunity for all cardiothoracic surgeons, regardless of race, gender or any other sociodemographic source of bias. Every effort must be made by every surgeon, not just those in particular leadership roles. Opportunities for advancement must be equal in multiple domains, including clinical practice, patient referral, clinical leadership, academic leadership, institutional leadership and leadership in professional medical and surgical societies. Such actions to minimize bias and promote inclusivity will also ensure that cardiothoracic surgical care is provided by a workforce that represents the diversity of patients whom we serve. In the final analysis, it is an absolute fact that gender differences in payments to cardiothoracic surgeons are absolutely unacceptable and cannot be tolerated.
我们这个领域的领导者，以及每一位心胸外科医生，都必须尽一切努力确保所有心胸外科医生都有平等的机会，无论他们的种族、性别或任何其他社会人口来源的偏见如何。每一位外科医生都必须尽自己的努力，而不仅仅是那些担任特定领导角色的人。晋升机会必须在多个领域平等，包括临床实践、患者转诊、临床领导、学术领导、机构领导和专业医疗和外科协会的领导。这些减少偏见和促进包容性的行动也将确保心胸外科护理由代表我们服务的患者多样性的劳动力提供。归根结底，心胸外科医生薪酬的性别差异是绝对不可接受的，也不能容忍，这是一个绝对的事实。
