[Career Path and Leadership for Female Doctors in University Hospitals].

The percentage of female faculty members in university hospitals remain low in Japan. This is especially true for the posts of lecturer and above. It remains difficult for women to continue working at university hospitals after going through various life events. However, this situation is definitely changing. There are many challenging and rewarding jobs that can only be found in university hospitals, and I hope that many female doctors will consider a career in a university as one of their options.
