Defining a Leader—Characteristics That Distinguish a Chair of Surgery

Millennial Leaders: Ready or Not, Here They Come

“…25,26 Female representation in academic leadership positions is similarly dismal in general surgery, with only 5.7 percent of chairpersons and 18.4 percent of program directors being female. 27,28 In plastic surgery, women are less likely to receive promotions and are more likely to leave academic medicine. 29 The academic leadership of plastic surgery is demonstrably homogenous.…”
