The representation of female oncologists in leadership roles – ESMO

ESMO (European Society for Medical Oncology) shared a post on LinkedIn:

”ESMO24: The ESMO Women for Oncology Committee has been actively monitoring the representation of female oncologists in leadership roles since 2015. Despite progress in some areas, the representation of women in oncology leadership remains low, particularly at congresses, on society boards, and as leading authors in publications.

Helena Linardou will dive deeper in findings from this work on Monday, 16 September at 14:45 during the Policy and preventive strategies Mini Oral session. We encourage all delegates to attend for additional insights.”
