Abstract
Background: A gender gap in leadership exists in academic medicine. Medical school faculty rosters indicate an overrepresentation of women in entry-level positions. As positions increase in seniority and leadership responsibilities, there is an underrepresentation of women. The reasons for this discrepancy are not fully understood, but the mid-career transition is one career point that some scholars hypothesize is part of the leaky pipeline. The University of Rochester Medical Center developed a career development program (CDP) to focus on this pivotal career developmental time period. We assessed the impact of the CDP on self-assessed knowledge, competence, self-identified goals, and promotions.
