This podcast miniseries obtained from the 120 compressions archive looks into empowering women in healthcare In this series of interviews, where we will speak accomplished women in various areas of healthcare. Women's roles in healthcare are diverse, making up the majority of the workforce, yet remain underrepresented in senior leadership positions with global leadership roles only around 25%, according to studies from 2025. Women make up approximately 68% of physician associates (PAs) in the United States. This percentage has increased over time, transforming the profession from one that was historically male-dominated to one with a female majority. Women are increasingly in leadership roles within the Physician Associate (PA) profession, with a growing number taking on roles such as program directors, and contributing to academic and clinical leadership. However, they still face challenges like systemic barriers, implicit bias, and a lack of clear leadership pathways, though these issues are being addressed through initiatives and a greater focus on creating supportive environments.

This podcast miniseries obtained from the 120 compressions archive looks into empowering women in healthcare In this series of interviews, where we will speak with accomplished women in various areas of healthcare. According to the American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA) women constitute to the majority of veterinarians in the U.S., making up approximately 67% of the total workforce in 2023.
