The recruitment and advancement of women in cardiology is an important priority for the cardiology community. Despite improvements in sex disparities over the last 2 decades, women remain a small minority in cardiology. Recent studies have revealed key obstacles facing female cardiologists including radiation exposure, family responsibilities, unequal financial compensations, and lack of career advancement. To attract and retain more women into the field of cardiology, the cardiology community, including professional society leaders, division chiefs, and program directors, must all work to overcome these barriers.
