Details

Although women have represented a significant proportion of medical school graduates for forty years and currently account for almost half of med students, graduate medical trainees, and faculty nationwide, there remains a significant difference in the way men and women are perceived and treated within our organizational cultures. Transcending numeric parity and creating environments conducive to women's advancement will require mitigating implicit cultural assumptions and reconfiguring practices and patterns of interactions in the workplace that inadvertently benefit men and disadvantage women.

In her talk, Dr. Gottlieb will explore how second generation gender biases within academic medicine impact women's success and offer strategies to disrupt these prescriptive norms in our organizations so that the talents of a gender-diverse workforce can freely emerge. Specifically, she will:

* Define the concept of sponsorship and how it differs from traditional mentorship
* Characterize second generation gender bias and its impact on commonly accepted workplace practices and women's leadership trajectories
* Examine how gender biases converge to produce the gender pay gap
* Illustrate a roadmap for culture change and describe the critical role sponsorship can play in supporting women's advancement
