Bowel Sounds, Episode Twenty: Rina Sanghavi - Women in Medicine

In this special National Women Physicians Day episode of Bowel Sounds, hosts Dr. Peter Lu and Dr. Jennifer Lee talk to Dr. Rina Sanghavi about gender bias in academic medicine and pediatric gastroenterology. February 3, 2021 is the 200th birthday of Dr. Elizabeth Blackwell, the first woman to receive her medical degree in the United States. Every year, women celebrate the progress that has been made towards gender equality in medicine, but there is still a long way to go. We discuss the gender pay gap, a leaky pipeline to leadership, and give practical tips on managing microaggressions in the workplace. We offer tips on how every physician, male or female, can support their women colleagues.
