Comprehensive paper from @elnortonmd et al evaluating the field of #CTsurgeons and representation by #womensurgeons. The authors find that women are equally academically productive with less promotions/professorship. Link Below.

Career duration, including cumulative research productivity, is an important factor predicting full professor rank, potentially contributing to persistent sex-based disparities in academic CT surgery @WTRCollab @WomenInThoracic @annalsthorsurg

Thank you to @edwardslifesciences for sponsoring the 2023 WTS Thistlethwaite Scholarship and @TerumoAortic for sponsoring the 2023 WTS Terumo Aortic Fellowship.

My goal in sharing this experience was to highlight the ongoing need to dispel myths and educate others, as we strive to create a surgical workforce in which we all can feel that we belong. This is an opportunity to change perceptions regarding #TheFaceOfCTSurgery.

Congratulations to our own Dr. Miter for matching @BIDMCSurgery for fellowship! Making us incredibly proud 🙌🏼

[Sarah Miter, MD @SarahMiterMD19]

If you would’ve told younger me that I would be heading to Harvard and train as a cardiac surgeon, I wouldn’t believe you. I am so excited to train @BIDMCSurgery with @SidhuGang et al. Cannot wait! July 2024, here I come! @SurgeryInova

Congratulations on your grit … we need more leaders like you and fewer blinders @WomenSurgeons @ThoracicStudent @TSRA_official @WomenInThoracic @womeninsurgery @ests_womenThor @AortaWomen @WTRCollab @STS_CTsurgery @AATSHQ

[Elizabeth Norton, MD @elnortonMD]

Women remain a minority in all subspecialties of CT surgery. Academic productivity is comparable between sexes when adjusted for career length: women should be actively considered for leadership positions and academic promotions. https://t.co/5I8ccezSJy @WomenInThoracic #STS2022

[Jessica Figueredo, DO, MS @dr_jfig]

Amazing work by an amazing team! Congratulations @elnortonMD 🙌🏼
