Abstract: Developing women in hospital, academic medical center, and healthcare management The healthcare industry, a robust employment sector for women, employed 16.4 million women in 2021, representing 77.6 percent of its total workforce. However, the representation of women in leadership roles remains disproportionately low (Prudêncio, Priscila et al., 2021). Women occupy only 25 percent of leadership positions in healthcare, despite comprising over half of U.S. medical school applicants, and hold just 18 percent of medical school dean and clinical department chair roles. Furthermore, only 34 percent of senior associate deans, 29 percent of division chiefs, and 25 percent of full professors are women. This disparity highlights a critical issue within the healthcar.
