Comprehensive paper from @elnortonmd et al evaluating the field of #CTsurgeons and representation by #womensurgeons. The authors find that women are equally academically productive with less promotions/professorship. Link Below.

My goal in sharing this experience was to highlight the ongoing need to dispel myths and educate others, as we strive to create a surgical workforce in which we all can feel that we belong. This is an opportunity to change perceptions regarding #TheFaceOfCTSurgery. – at Houston, TX
At an academic conference this am, I poured coffee outside a meeting before I entered. I was informed that the coffee was only for attendees. I stated “I’m an attendee.” “No, I mean only the surgeons.” I’m wearing a conference badge and dressed professionally. #TheFaceOfCTSurgery
Congratulations to our own Dr. Miter for matching @BIDMCSurgery for fellowship! Making us incredibly proud 🙌🏼
If you would’ve told younger me that I would be heading to Harvard and train as a cardiac surgeon, I wouldn’t believe you. I am so excited to train @BIDMCSurgery with @SidhuGang et al. Cannot wait! July 2024, here I come! @SurgeryInova

Women remain a minority in all subspecialties of CT surgery. Academic productivity is comparable between sexes when adjusted for career length: women should be actively considered for leadership positions and academic promotions. cdmcd.co/nQ3BGM @WomenInThoracic #STS2022
