EP on EP Episode 48 - Women in Electrophysiology-EP on EP Episode 48

Video Transcription

Video Summary

Dr. Anne Gillis discusses the underrepresentation of women in the field of electrophysiology (EP) and the potential impact on future workforce shortages. With only around 20% of medical students pursuing careers in cardiology, and even fewer in EP, efforts need to be made to make female medical students more aware of the opportunities in these fields. Dr. Gillis suggests providing mentors and early exposure to the excitement of EP to attract more women. The Heart Rhythm Society is committed to elevating the profile of women in EP, and with female leadership in place, now is the perfect time to address this issue.
