| Core Tip |
This manuscript presents the results of the first worldwide cross-sectional study to document gender inequities in transplantation surgery. By surveying both transplant unit directors and female transplant surgeons, it reveals disparities in academic and leadership roles, frequent experiences of gender discrimination and sexual harassment, and highlights the need for mentorship, equitable leadership opportunities, and institutional policies that support work-life balance. |
