Exploring Perceived Gender Disparities in Latin America’s Vascular Neurology Workforce: Insights from a Survey-Based Study
Our survey reveals perceived significant hurdles women healthcare professionals encounter in stroke, notably concerning the influence of maternity on job performance and career development. Furthermore, these results highlight inequalities in leadership roles and career pathways. By shedding light on these obstacles, we aim to increase awareness and advocate for implementing fair policies to create a supportive work environment.
