This week we review a recent work from the "Women In Pediatric Cardiology" group which is a 4 year old initiative to help lift up women pediatric cardiologists through the fostering of connections and also via mentorship programs. Why did this program develop and what are the most pressing issues affecting female pediatric cardiologists? What are the best solutions to help address gender inequities in our field? We speak with two co-authors of this week's work, Drs. Sarah Ford of Brown University and Kristin Laraja of University of Massachussetts. For those interested in participating in their work, feel free to email Pediheart@gmail.com and your information will be passed along to the authors.
