EDI news
How Sexism Impacts Women Faculty
In the past year, a survey found that 20 percent of female faculty at UW Medicine have experienced gender-based discrimination or harassment.[cid:image025.jpg at 01D8BEE6.FCDDA7D0]
Identifying the problem is the first step toward fixing it, and leaders throughout UW Medicine, including Dr. Trish Kritek, professor (Pulmonary, Critical Care and Sleep Medicine) and vice dean for faculty affairs for the UW School of Medicine, are finding ways to make the workplace more equitable.

Kritek and her colleagues in Academic Appointments and Compensation conduct salary equity reviews for faculty in each department to work to minimize inequitable pay practices. They also examine how long it takes female faculty to get promoted in comparison to their male counterparts.

The Women in Medicine and Science committee, Office of Faculty Affairs and Office of Healthcare Equity have created programs and other opportunities for female faculty to network with peers, find mentors, pursue leadership roles, advance careers, and more.
