Non-Cognitive Predictors of Student Success: A Predictive Validity Comparison Between Domestic and International Students
INTRO: An increasing percentage of pediatricians and pediatric subspecialists are women yet remain underrepresented in leadership posi7ons. Women also face dispari7es in salary, promo7on and recogni7on throughout their careers. A 2018 analysis of the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) Sec7on on Neonatal Perinatal Medicine also found gender equity issues in research produc7vity with significant fewer publica7ons submiHed by women as well as being a leading author on published manuscripts. In addi7on, there are significantly fewer female Division Chiefs and Professors in Neonatology, even aLer adjus7ng for years post fellowship. As more women enter the medical workforce in Pediatrics, workforce interven7ons addressing these issues of gender disparity is becoming more cri7cal. METHODS: Survey of women neonatologists (61 in attendance) at the inaugural WiN meeting at the American Academy of Pediatrics Perinatal Practice Strategies Meeting. RESULTS: 81% reported that their section chef was male, 75% lacked a good mentor. Interestingly 62% of good mentors were identified as female. 95% reported that male colleagues think that women are doing better than they actually are and 98% thought that women are viewed as “intimidating”, “bossy” or aggressive” when negotiating for self. 49% reported to have experienced sexual harassment at work. When asked to describe internal or external barriers impeding progress the following word cloud was generated:
