Practical Applications to Close Gender and Diversity Gaps in Health Care Leadership
Mon, Oct. 19 | 3– 4:30pm
Today, women outnumber men in the allied health care professions but are still significantly underrepresented in leadership roles within the health care industry. An Oct. 15, 2019, article in the Wall Street Journal stated that women comprise the highest share of entry-level positions in the health care industry (75%), but represent less than 33% of the C-suite leaders. This number drops to just 6% for women of color.
Whether it’s untapped opportunities, lack of mentors, or unconscious bias on the part of both genders, women in health care are encountering the same obstacles that prevent them from advancing as their counterparts in other professions. Employers have a stake in changing this status quo and are encouraged to look realistically at biases that may drive these trends. Barriers may not simply be the traditional “glass ceiling” but also an invisible wall that limits access to experiences that are necessary stepping-stones for women to obtain senior leadership positions.
Today, diverse skill sets and experience with profit and loss responsibility are essential for developing senior leadership. Success requires climbing the “management ladder” and fully embracing the “management lattice,” by stepping into roles that round out your professional experience but may not necessarily represent a promotion.
During this session, five women of diverse backgrounds who have advanced to executive levels in managed care pharmacy, health care recruiting, and the pharmaceutical industry will discuss their experiences and share best practices that support gender equity. This program will provide important insights to anyone who is working to level the playing field in health care leadership. Hard and soft skills, competencies, and mentorship programs will be discussed during this highly interactive, open forum.
Please note this session is not accredited for continuing pharmacy education credit. This session was brought to you by the AMCP Career Center.
Learning Objectives:
At the completion of this activity, participants should be able to:
· Discuss the current landscape of women serving in senior leadership positions in the health care industry.
· Identify skills and competencies that enhance opportunities to achieve career advances.
· Through case examples, explore career paths for female executives in managed care.
· Discuss the value of formal and informal mentorship programs.
