Episode 159: The Gender Gap in Medical Group Leadership—and How to Fix It
Episode 159
Tuesday, 2 December, 2025
Send us a textIn a sector where women make up the majority of the workforce, why are women still under-represented in the seats of power in medical groups?That’s the question we’re digging into today. Because while it’s no secret that healthcare has long depended on the contributions of women—as physicians, nurses, administrators, and operational leaders—the top roles still tend to skew male. And when you take a close look at medical groups, especially larger ones, the imbalance becomes even clearer.But this isn’t just a fairness issue. This is a strategic issue. Promoting more women into leadership roles is one of the smartest things a medical group can do. It strengthens decision-making, improves communication, builds healthier teams, and creates a culture of resilience. Today, we’ll explore why.We’re going to cover a lot of ground: the traditional gender imbalance, the advantages of gender-diverse leadership, how men and women often lead differently, how those styles complement each other, why compensation and negotiation matter, and how remote work might help level the playing field. We'll also touch on what the future could look like if medical groups commit to equity—not just in theory, but in practice.Please Follow or Subscribe to get new episodes delivered to you as soon as they drop!
