We were astonished by the findings in the AAMC's "State of Women in Academic Medicine 2023-2024" report, that put forward the progress and persistent challenges in gender equity, particularly in our specialty. We commend our national societies who support women leaders in succeeding in their academic trajectory. The AAMC report shows the increase in the percentage of women chairs in academic anesthesiology departments from 13% in 2004 to 18% in 2024. We also recognize the narrowing of the compensation gap with women earning $0.94 for every dollar earned by their male colleagues. However, neither of these accomplishments are sufficient, and we must strive to break the “glass ceiling” and support gender equity at all levels.
