ESO WISE Women in Stroke Leadership Workshop at ESOC
As of 2015, in most European countries there are more women among physicians than men. Despite these numbers women are underrepresented in leadership positions, and women more often choose careers in family medicine or paediatrics, whereas there are more men than women in stroke and surgical fields.
Why is this and how can we overcome it?
