## Resource

Women make up half of the medical school graduates, but only a quarter of radiology residents. In this episode, Maddi and Jeff are joined by Amy Patel, MD and Shiva Yagobian, BS to go beyond the statistics and explore the social, institutional, and policy-level barriers that shape the "leaky pipeline" from training to leadership. Whether you're a trainee wondering where all the women in leadership are - or a department leader looking to make real, sustainable change - this episode offers both the data and the direction to help close the gap.
