White, F. Scott EdD; McDade, Sharon EdD; Yamagata, Hisashi PhD; Morahan, Page S. PhD
Women leaders of U.S. LCME-accredited medical schools have taken longer to advance through the academic ranks, serve at less research-intensive institutions, and had shorter tenures than did men deans. These results underscore the challenges women leaders face in traditionally male-dominated organizations, and they provide baseline data to inform medical schools building inclusive senior leadership teams.
