Few women are found in seniorroles in organized surgery or at the senior ranks of academicsurgical faculty.

Strategies for correcting thisimbalance include affirmative recruitment of women into surgery,particularly into academic surgical faculties; support systems,such as child care and adjustment of promotion and tenure timetables;mentoring; and programs of career development that emphasizeskills in management as well as research and teaching.
