When you think of careers like being a teacher, firefighter, secretary or engineer, what gender do you envision those people? Many careers are associated with particular genders, and the same goes for medicine. We explore this idea in our first ever live show, where we sit down with two highly specialized female-identifying physicians and have an honest conversation about a recently published academic paper titled 'When a Specialty Becomes "Women's Work": Trends in and Implications of Specialty Gender Segregation in Medicine.' During this talk, we explore shifts in gender predominance among medical specialities and wage as well as prestige gaps that have followed. We also get some incredible insights from our guests about their personal hardships, past experiences, and advice on mentorship, advocating for yourself regardless of career, and more. This, plus the thoughtful questions from our audience, make this episode unlike any other!
