Women in Global Health states women make up 70% of jobs in the health sector, while 25% hold leadership positions. Their report concludes “the default health worker is a woman, while the default health leader is a man.” Women have made gains in health care sciences, but research affirms progress is slow with a variety of barriers impeding advancement. Dental education is no exception. This symposium will provide highlights of the 2024 IWLC and speak to the importance of a collective voice to provide recommendations for how our institutions and dental profession can support transformative change for the advancement of women.

Learning Objectives:

  • Analyze the current state of gender disparity in dental education and leadership.
  • Identify and examine the factors contributing to the underrepresentation of women in leadership positions within dental education.
  • Organize with a collective voice for policy changes and institutional reforms that support the advancement of women in dental education.
