TLDR
In this paper, the role of social media as a tool for advancing WIC and fostering gender equality and diversity in the field of cardiology has been discussed and discussed in detail.Abstract:
Though the number of women in medicine continues to rise, the discrimination against women and the gender inequity in both leadership roles and salary remains persistent. The gender divide is particularly prominent in male-dominated specialties, such as cardiology. Social media helps to foster global connections and disseminate information quickly and worldwide. The rise of social media has influenced how female physicians communicate and has particularly shown its benefits within the field of cardiology. Virtual platforms are important avenues where female physicians have united for greater representation of gender issues and advocacy efforts. Social media serves to further amplify gender equality activism by facilitating the conversations surrounding gender equity and proposing solutions to self-identified issues by the virtual community of female physicians and their allies. In this review, we discuss the role of social media as a tool for advancing WIC and foster gender equality and diversity.read more
