Key speakers include Dr. Mervat Abou-Mahdi from Egypt, Dr. Sabine Ernst from the UK, Dr. Eliana Mejia from the Dominican Republic, and Dr. Vanita Arora from India. Each shares her path into EP, underscoring themes of perseverance, passion for the field, and the importance of support systems, mentorship, and role models.<br /><br />The discussion reveals common barriers such as work-life balance, limited female mentors, and inadequate training resources.
