Women are underrepresented in health care with few women in influential positions, leadership roles, and promoted to the highest academic ranks compared with men. Increasingly, efforts are being made to address systematic barriers and sources of bias that are at the core of the gender gap in science and academic medicine. Reforms to written and unwritten policies and structures that have maintained the gender gap in science and academia are expected to shepherd in a more inclusive academic environment in the future. Based on personal experiences and reflection, I compiled a list of 10 ways that women academicians can empower themselves in the interim.
