COMPLETE THE ESTS-EACTS GENDER BIAS SURVEY – Due 15 January, 2021

Dear ESTS and EACTS Members,

Numbers revealing a gender gap in surgery are periodically reported by national and international institutions but data on perceptions of gender equality within the cardio-thoracic community are scarce.

Furthermore, identifying the causes of the disproportionately low female representation in cardio-thoracic surgery is challenging, and thus, solving this problem remains difficult. To better understand the reasons underlying this phenomenon, we would like to assess the perception and impact of gender bias on our speciality.

The Boards of ESTS and EACTS have jointly approved this project with the aim to depict a clearer European demographic situation and report gender equality’s experience by both male and female members.

This survey is entirely anonymous and will take 5-7 minutes to complete.

Thank you in advance for your participation. Click here to complete the survey.
