Despite efforts at many institutions, nationally, women still lag behind their male counterparts in leadership, promotion, and seniority. In this paper, we describe the efforts to improve the environment for women faculty at one large academic medical center through the creation of an Association of Professional Women in Medical Sciences. Over the years, the group has helped influence policies that directly affect women faculty, provided high-yield programming on topics related to women's success, and created interprofessional networking opportunities for women faculty. We describe the challenges and successes of this group to serve as a model and inspiration for other institutions.
尽管许多机构都做出了努力,但在全国范围内,女性在领导力、晋升和资历方面仍落后于男性同行。在本文中,我们描述了一所大型学术医疗中心为改善女性教员的环境所做的努力,即创建医学科学专业女性协会。多年来,该组织帮助影响了直接影响女性教员的政策,提供了关于女性成功相关主题的高产出项目,并为女性教员创造了跨专业的网络交流机会。我们描述了该组织的挑战与成功之处,以期为其他机构树立榜样并提供启发。
