Although women are well-represented in medical schools, they have remained a significant minority in radiology, with little recent progress made in bridging the gender gap. Underrepresentation of women is even more pronounced in radiology leadership and research positions, a phenomenon termed the "leaky pipeline." We aim to present the root causes of female underrepresentation in radiology based on existing literature and propose specific interventions for this issue based on engaging female medical students in radiology education.

Cognitively diverse teams outperform high intelligence (IQ) teams in problem solving, while businesses with at least one woman in their board of directors financially outperform ones with all men boards. These well-known facts are lost in most academic science enterprises. Herein, we make the case for looking at sources, approaches, and opportunities in expanding cognitive diversity of research teams for high productivity and efficiency.

Background: Almost 40% of the Nobel-Prize-winning discoveries in medicine are made by physician-scientists, who are a driving force in the evolving medical, academic and research landscape. However, their training has few defined milestones. To be effective clinicians, educators and researchers, they need to maintain and hone skills, often via continuous professional development (CPD) activities covering different domains.
