Abstract:
The Association of American Medical Colleges sounded the alarm in 1996 about inequity between the sexes in medicine, prompting organizations to help women advance into leadership positions. Slow, modest changes have occurred, but similar issues and barriers still exist such as lack of mentorship, poor self-promotion, and improving leadership skills in women. One way to help bridge the gender gap is to provide women the tools through leadership development programs, of which several have proven useful. The extent of these programs' impact is not fully known, but they are helping remove these barriers.
