Just read this @Medscape survey of 3,000 #WomenInMedicine released July 15.
There are 4 major take home points.
First, Work-life Balance is the #1 concern in 2020: 64%. #3 is combining parenthood/work. No surprise in this COVID era!

Here is the rank ordered list of concerns.
Compensation is still a strong #2 concern.
This was especially true among #WomenInMedicine > 45 y.o.
Medscape 2020 survey data shows an ongoing gender pay gap: M > F by 31% among specialists & by 25% in primary care.

And here is the sad part for male colleagues.
Less than half of women physicians identified male colleagues as supportive of gender equality.
We have a lot of work to do to ensure that being a #HeForShe
is a rule, not an exception.
Being passive is not enough.

Leaders, there was a major mentorship/talent development gap identified in the survey.
Less than 1/4 of #WomenInMedicine reported professional development at work.
62% said that they don't have a mentor.
We must be that mentor/sponsor and lift women up every day!
