Title IX for Neurology Chairs
Speaker: Paul Garcia, MD, FANA
In 1972 Title IX changed the landscape for US Education by prohibiting sex-based discrimination at institutions receiving federal funds. We discuss practical implications for a Neurology Department in anticipation of further discussion.
Gender discrimination and sexual harassment in academic medicine
Speaker: Anita Raj, PhD
Approximately 2 in 5 academic faculty members in the U.S. are women, though less than 1 in 5 women are chairs. Gender imbalances persist in time to advancement, pay, and leadership positioning, and women and racial/ethnic minority faculty members carry the greater load of unpaid service responsibilities. Gender discrimination and sexual harassment contribute to the ongoing inequalities in academic medicine, along with discrimination and harassment of racial/ethnic minorities and/or gender and sexual minorities. In this presentation, we will discuss the current state of the evidence on these issues, and efforts that can effectively mitigate these concerns.
