For the past 6 years, the Society for Imaging Informatics in Medicine (SIIM) annual meeting has provided a forum for women in imaging informatics to discuss the unique challenges they face. These sessions have evolved into a platform for understanding, sharing experiences, and developing practical strategies. The 2023 session was organized into three focus groups devoted to discussing imposter syndrome, workplace microaggressions, and work-life balance. This paper summarizes these discussions and highlights the significant themes and narratives that emerged. We aim to contribute to the larger conversation on gender equity in the informatics field, emphasizing the importance of understanding and addressing the challenges faced by women in informatics. By documenting these sessions, we seek to inspire actionable change towards a more inclusive and equitable future for everyone in imaging informatics.
在过去的6年里，医学影像信息学会（SIIM）年会为从事影像信息学的女性提供了一个论坛，以讨论她们所面临的独特挑战。这些会议已发展成为一个理解、分享经验和制定实用策略的平台。2023年的会议分为三个焦点小组，专门讨论冒名顶替综合症、工作场所的微侵犯行为以及工作与生活的平衡。本文总结了这些讨论，并突出了出现的重要主题和叙述内容。我们旨在为信息学领域关于性别平等的更广泛讨论做出贡献，强调理解和应对信息学领域女性所面临挑战的重要性。通过记录这些会议，我们力求激发可采取行动的变革，为影像信息学领域的每一个人创造一个更具包容性和公平性的未来。
