Although we are making strides in advancing women and other underrepresented groups in critical care medicine, a lot of work remains to be done. The first step in this process is providing education to trainees in all disciplines on gender and inclusivity. Furthermore, identifying the barriers to achieving parity paves the way to a structured approach for removing these barriers. This session is aimed at creating awareness and providing education on the existing gender culture in critical care medicine and strategies for enhancing inclusivity.
