An Innovative Program to Support Gender Equity and Success in Academic Medicine: Early Experiences From the Doris Duke Charitable Foundation's Fund to Retain Clinical Scientists.
Background: Difficulty integrating home and workplace expectations may explain gender differences in academic success and attrition of promising physician–researchers. Institutions have piloted creative interventions to help those facing time-sensitive productivity and family pressures, but the problem persists nationwide. The Doris Duke Charitable Foundation created an innovative new national program to support junior physician–researchers facing substantial extraprofessional challenges.
