There have been increasing efforts to identify and understand gender disparities that impede career advancement for women within academic medicine, psychology, and the sciences more broadly. This webinar will review current evidence on gender differences in tenure and promotion, grants and publications, reputation and leadership, compensation, and service, drawing on studies specific to clinical neuropsychology when possible. Factors contributing to gender gaps, such as cultural/societal norms, interpersonal processes, and institutional practices, will be discussed, along with ideas for addressing gaps and promoting positive change. The webinar will close with practical tips and strategies for setting priorities to achieve personal and professional goals.
After the webinar, participants will be able to:
1. List three domains in which gender differences exist in academic medicine and psychological science.
2. Describe how systemic factors (e.g., culturally prescribed social roles) contribute to gender disparities.
3. Assess strategies for closing gender gaps in career advancement, financial compensation, and work-life conflict.
Target Audience: All levels from graduate students to late career professionals
Instructional level: Intermediate
