Abstract

As the representation of women in medicine has grown and reached parity in some specialties over the past two decades, radiology has not only lagged behind, but has remained stagnant. To strengthen the pipeline, the field must institute policies and practices to retain women in radiology and must effectively recruit and mentor women in medical school to enter the field. Women in medical school who are pursuing radiology, however, often struggle to find women mentors, opportunities for research, leadership, and service, and critically, often struggle to find a community that speaks to their experience. WIRED (Women in Radiology Education) is a student-led group dedicated to community building and advancing radiology mentorship, research, and service opportunities for women in medical school. This step-by-step guide to founding a WIRED chapter with examples of successful chapter events can enable radiology programs to provide targeted mentorship to women in medical school, and ultimately, increase the representation of women in radiology.

女性放射学教育 (WIRED)：缩小放射学性别差距的可行步骤。

在过去的二十年里，女性在医学界的代表人数不断增加，并在一些专业领域实现了平等，但放射学不仅落在后面，而且一直停滞不前。为了加强这一渠道，放射学领域必须制定政策和实践来留住放射学领域的女性，并且必须有效地招募和指导医学院的女性进入这一领域。然而，正在攻读放射学专业的医学院女生往往很难找到女性导师、研究机会、领导力和服务，更关键的是，她们往往很难找到一个能与她们的经历对话的社区。WIRED (Women in Radiology Education) 是一个由学生领导的团体，致力于为医学院的女生建立社区和促进放射学导师、研究和服务机会。这本关于创建 WIRED 分会的分步指南附有分会活动的成功范例，可帮助放射学课程为医学院女生提供有针对性的指导，并最终增加放射学专业的女生人数。

期刊介绍： The mission of Clinical Imaging is to publish, in a timely manner, the very best radiology research from the United States and around the world with special attention to the impact of medical imaging on patient care. The journal''s publications cover all imaging modalities, radiology issues related to patients, policy and practice improvements, and clinically-oriented imaging physics and informatics. The journal is a valuable resource for practicing radiologists, radiologists-in-training and other clinicians with an interest in imaging. Papers are carefully peer-reviewed and selected by our experienced subject editors who are leading experts spanning the range of imaging sub-specialties, which include: -Body Imaging- Breast Imaging- Cardiothoracic Imaging- Imaging Physics and Informatics- Molecular Imaging and Nuclear Medicine- Musculoskeletal and Emergency Imaging- Neuroradiology- Practice, Policy & Education- Pediatric Imaging- Vascular and Interventional Radiology
