Globally, women account for almost 50% of the population [1]. Therefore, it is not surprising that just over 57% of all women participated in the labor force in 2019, and it should not be surprising that many seek higher education, including careers in medicine [1]. Women now comprise 50% of matriculants to medical school and now account for close to 30% of the physician workforce in the US [1]. This brings the necessity of the changing landscape to support the needs of this student body and workforce.
