Episode 25: Women in Medicine in Lebanon: Challenges and Future Outlook with Drs. Eveline Hitti and Zakia Dimassi

Listen to our newest episode of The Lebanese Physicians' Podcast with Drs. Eveline Hitti, Chair of the Department of Emergency Medicine at the American University of Beirut Medical Center, and Dr. Zakia Dimassi, Assistant Professor of Clinical Teaching, Simulation, and Pediatrics at Saint George University Hospital in Beirut. In this episode, we discuss with two leaders in their field the struggles that women face in their pursuit of their chosen career path and in reaching leadership positions. Overall, the path has been arduous in the past; however, more women are going into medical school, and more women are joining the academic and private workforce (although still avoiding certain surgical subspecialties) which with time will reverse some of the inequities. We hope you will enjoy this conversation, and please feel free to share your thoughts on the issues that were raised and maybe your struggles, and some potential solutions.
