Most cardiologists in the United States are men, and many female cardiologists report discrimination in the workplace, a new survey finds.
“We need to increase the diversity of our workforce, and find ways to recruit higher numbers of women and underrepresented minorities,” said survey senior author Dr. Claire Duvernoy, chair of the Women in Cardiology Council at the American College of Cardiology (ACC). The council conducted the survey.
“We must work to change the culture that allows this to occur in our field,” Duvernoy added.
