How can gender bias be mitigated in reference letters & applications? Excellent and important talk by Dr. Valeda Yong, MD, MSEd, finding that gender differences in #CTSurgery letters of recommendation exist for women but not men applicants when comparing women & men writers. #AATS2023

First presentation in AATS WomenInThoracicSurg DEI session was outstanding. Valeda Yong, MD, MSEd discussed gender disparities in CT surgery LOR. Looking forward to partnering with Dr Erkmen to build on this work and on our work shared by Marianna Papageorge, MD MPH at #STS2023! #AATS2023

I want to thank the AATS for giving me the chance to discuss the paper “Gender differences in cardiothoracic surgery letters of recommendation”, by Dr Wong and Dr Erkmen from Temple. Interesting data and great WTS session. @cherie erkmen #aats2023 #woment…lnkd.in/gwMiyb_g
