Female representation in the gastroenterology workforce increased from 11·0% in 2007 to 18·9% in 2019, 1 but the proportion of women in senior academic and leadership positions remains much lower than that of men. 2 Such disproportion occurs despite similar academic productivity between genders. 3 The Comment by Manmeet Matharoo and colleagues 4 in The Lancet Gastroenterology & Hepatology reiterated the need to sponsor and enhance female representation in academic meetings. Although not explicitly alluded to by the authors, academic grand rounds are another forum wherein female academics, particularly junior women, can benefit from speakership opportunities.
