Recruitment Strategies for Improving Gender Diversity in Critical Care Fellowship Programs

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The video discusses the need to improve gender diversity in critical care fellowships and explores the challenges and potential strategies for recruitment. The presenter highlights the underrepresentation of women in critical care and provides evidence from studies that suggest differences in factors influencing career choices for men and women. Factors such as mentorship, pay equity, work-life balance, traditional gender traits, and biases are discussed. Strategies to improve recruitment include rethinking ICU work organization and work-life balance, addressing biases, and providing interventions to reduce implicit biases. These efforts aim to attract more diverse gender trainees to critical care fellowships.
