Psychiatry's gender blind spot: what comes next? Sunan: Ruby Castilla Puentes Ülke: United States of America Oturum: 3770 - WOMEN’S MENTAL HEALTH IN THE WORKPLACE: FROM POLICY TO PRACTICE Tarih: Fri, 25.09.2026, 13:45 - 14:00 Salon: Hall A5 Despite women’s growing share of the psychiatric workforce, structural inequalities persist in leadership, career advancement, pay, and recognition, requiring targeted measures at the institutional level. The presentation addresses why gender equality in leadership, career advancement, pay, and recognition has yet to be achieved despite significant progress in women’s representation in medicine and psychiatry. It notes that women make up a large proportion of the psychiatric workforce in many countries and increasingly hold academic and clinical positions, yet remain underrepresented in senior leadership, journal editorial boards, research funding, and decision-making roles. These persistent disparities are described as a “gender blind spot,” in which structural inequalities, unconscious bias, and gender stereotypes shape professional opportunities. The session examines the issue through the lenses of leadership, workforce development, and physician well-being, reviewing evidence on how implicit gender bias affects recruitment, promotion, performance appraisal, pay equity, mentoring, sponsorship, and access to institutional resources. It focuses on the cumulative impact of these invisible barriers on career trajectories, burnout, work-related stress, and the retention of women psychiatrists, as well as why progress has been slower than expected despite increased female representation and how institutional culture, policy, and leadership accountability contribute to the persistence of inequalities. Drawing on international experiences and emerging initiatives within professional organizations, it proposes actionable strategies to strengthen inclusive leadership, reinforce mentoring and sponsorship networks, increase transparency in promotion and compensation processes, and integrate gender equality into institutional governance. The session aims to open a discussion on the next generation of actions needed to build a more equitable and resilient psychiatric profession worldwide. Bu çalışmaya nasıl atıf yapılır?
