Continued development of the nationwide critical care anesthesia practice is crucial not only for the further growth and wellbeing of our subspecialty but also to meet the needs of medically complex, critically ill adults. Myriad factors related to the workforce pipeline, practice organization, and professional development are key components to our continued success both individually and collectively. This panel will address both opportunities in current state and forward-looking ideas to further the growth and development of critical care anesthesiology.

Women physicians in academic medicine face a variety of unique challenges. A study published in 2000 revealed that women physicians in academic medicine were less likely than their male counterparts to be promoted to Associate or full Professor. This study was repeated in 2020, and women physicians are still less likely to be promoted than their male counterparts. Explaining why women remain less likely to achieve promotion requires an understanding of gender inequality and the challenges it poses to women physicians in leadership. Naming examples of gender inequality and facing gender bias promotes a shared understanding of the problems and will help physicians develop strategies to overcome them.
