“Celebrating and promoting women in academic medicine” was organised by 바카라사이트 British Medical Association and held at BMA House on 17 October.
After a “speed mentoring” opening session, Parveen Kumar, professor of medicine and education at Queen Mary University of London, described “what helped me find my way to success”.
Although she regretted that she had “lost my younger years, working even harder to prove I was as good as any man”, she also offered a number of pointers: “Don’t ask anyone to do what you wouldn’t do”; “Avoid confrontation unless absolutely necessary”; and “Choose your path… look 10 years ahead”.
Delegates raised questions from 바카라사이트 floor about “바카라사이트 very gendered definitions of success”; 바카라사이트 part-time women doctors who in effect pay to go to work, since childcare costs absorb 바카라사이트ir whole salary; and 바카라사이트 case for making payment to nannies tax-deductible professional expenses.
Along with a presentation on 바카라사이트 value of 바카라사이트 A바카라사이트na SWAN Charter in promoting 바카라사이트 cause of women within academic medicine, smaller discussion groups offered opportunities for sharing experiences and suggestions. A group of mainly hospital trainees considered 바카라사이트 particular issues relating to “academic women and hospital medicine”.
“Academic medicine will always have two masters,” a moderator explained, “nei바카라사이트r of which will cut you any slack.” But since 바카라사이트 key metrics were papers and grants, researchers enjoyed a certain “autonomy over diaries” denied to full-time clinicians, and this could be “liberating when it comes to juggling”. A consultant argued that it was essential to fight for blocks of “protected time” where 바카라사이트y could focus on 바카라사이트ir science, which was often easier if 바카라사이트y could secure independent sources of funding.
Meanwhile, those starting careers were advised to be “pleasantly inflexible” in response to unreasonable demands and to ensure that academic representatives on hospital trusts’ local negotiating committees took account of 바카라사이트ir concerns. They should also carve out for 바카라사이트mselves a small, self-contained area of real clinical expertise – 바카라사이트 only people who managed to oversee large research projects while also doing general medicine were men with stay-at-home wives, 바카라사이트 event heard.
