Thread of what I believe are key data noted in commentary below:

“Women remain underrepresented in senior faculty and leadership roles in academic medicine, comprising only 22% of professors, 36% of associate professors and 24% of medical school deans in Canada as of 2016/17.” 1 https://twitter.com/juveriazaheer/status/1318289539115503622

“1 recent study that explored gender difference in Canadian Institutes of Health Research awards found that less favourable assessments of women as principal investigators drove lower award rates, rather than the quality of their proposals.” Similar data in & @KarenBurnsk 2

Medical student evaluations describe women as less career oriented than men: “women tend to be described as “compassionate,” “sensitive” and “enthusiastic,” compared with terms often used to describe men, such as “a quick learner.” @DocMCohen @enenbee 3

Education not enough/need structural initiatives: “application blinding; increased diversity on selection & planning committees; critical examination of biased language in teaching, evaluation, nomination & selection processes; & support with flexible child care.” @boggildlab End
