Women in Radiology
In this special episode dedicated to the International Women’s Day, the Radiologists’ studio welcomes Dr. Kate Hanneman, an Associate Professor and a cardiothoracic radiologist at the Joint Department of Medical Imaging (JDMI) in Toronto. She has an appointment at the Peter Munk Cardiac Centre at the University Health Network (UHN) and is also the Site Director of Women’s College Hospital. Today, we talk about Women in Radiology: their challenges, if gender bias and wage gap is a myth or an epidemic, if radiology is the right career destination for female medical students and if women are better doctors than men. All about this and more in episode 5 of our podcast!
