Trends in Gender Representation at the American College of Surgeons Clinical Congress and the Academic Surgical Congress: A Mixed Picture of Progress

Abstract

Women remain in the minority of panelists and moderators at the ASC and CC meetings, and approximately 1 in 5 panels are composed entirely of men. Although progress has been made at both meetings, ongoing and deliberate attention is needed to ensure continued progress toward the goal of equitable gender representation in academic surgery.
