On September 28, Paulina Cruz Bravo, MD and collaborators had their research titled “Developing Priorities to Alleviate the Long-Term Impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic on Women Engaged in Diabetes Research, Education, and Care: A Concept Mapping Study,” published by the American Diabetes Association.
The study used multiple methods “to develop priorities through stakeholder engagement to alleviate the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the professional careers of women engaged in diabetes research, education, and care.”
Their findings suggested that family-friendly benefits and policies were a high priority but less likely to be implemented. They state that “these may take more effort to address, including coordinated efforts within institutions and professional societies to promote standards and programs that advance gender equity in medicine.”
