Navigating professional growth for women in radiology: A practical guide for mentorship, sponsorship, and coaching
Historically, women in radiology are underrepresented in radiology and face disproportionate barriers to career advancement related to work-life integration, gender bias, and relative lack of female role models. Given these challenges, women must be proactive and seek out mentorship and sponsorship to help navigate career obstacles and to guide career direction. At times of inflection, coaching can play a role in helping to clarify next steps through self-discovery of one's strengths, limitations, and desired goals. In this manuscript, we provide practical tips for women on how to successfully navigate mentorship, sponsorship and coaching during a career in radiology.
