Lifelong learning requires the courage to challenge our own convictions.

While cardiology is moving towards greater gender inclusivity & recognizing the contributions of women leaders, a multifaceted approach is required to dismantle systemic barriers. We are dedicated to encouraging more diversity in healthcare.

A text-based infographic outlining gender disparities in cardiology leadership. It is divided into three sections:

Defining the Problem
The Rationale for Women in Leadership
Barriers to Women's Leadership
The Path Forward

A faded pink symbol of the female gender is centrally placed behind the text. The infographic has a pink border.
