#Nephrology has long been a leader in #multidisciplinary, patient-centered care—let’s lead in tackling #inequities within our profession too👊🏽

💡 What we can do as a specialty:
🔹 Recognize and address biases in recruitment, retention, and leadership
🔹 Support mentorship and sponsorship for underrepresented groups
🔹 Conduct nephrology-specific research on workplace equity and career progression

📢 Nephrology colleagues—this research is a wake-up call.

Biases in medicine affect career progression, leadership opportunities, and even patient care. Yet, nephrology remains underrepresented in research on gender, race, and ethnicity bias. Our study highlights the gaps—now we need action

Jyoti Baharani @renalpages.bsky.social · Feb 16

Call to Action
🔬 The data is clear: bias in medicine is real and under-researched. We need:
📌 More research on race, ethnicity, and intersectionality
📌 Focus on interventions—not just problems
📌 Diverse leadership in medical research

Jyoti Baharani @renalpages.bsky.social · Feb 16

The Bigger Picture
This research is just the beginning. The lack of studies on racial and ethnic bias and the absence of intervention research highlights a critical need for action. We call for a more inclusive and solution-focused research agenda in medicine! 🌍📢 #EquityInMedicine #AcademicResearch

Key Findings
🔎 Key findings from our study:
✅ Career progression, discrimination, and motherhood were mostly studied by female authors
✅ Burnout and mental health were predominantly studied by male authors
✅ Few studies examined race and ethnicity bias!

Why We Did This Research and
Why does bias in medicine persist?
Despite progress, female and minority ethnic doctors face career barriers, lower pay, and fewer leadership opportunities. Our study explores the authorship trends and key themes in research on medical workplace bias. 📊📖

Before she goes, she takes one last sip of coffee, looks up, and asks, “Will it all be worth it?”

I smile, knowing the late nights, the sacrifices, the moments of doubt, and the juggling act of medicine, motherhood, and leadership.

“Every bit of it.”

She looks at me not comprehending - but I guess she’ll have to make that journey and all the mistakes along the way with the highs and the lows - and we finished our coffee
