This workshop focuses on successful career development strategies for women in academic hepatology, examining women’s professional needs (along with the existing challenges and barriers), discussing strategies to improve work-life balance, and to foster networking and mentoring opportunities. By directly addressing these issues in a workshop with dynamic panel discussions, we hope to attract more women to the field and to further guide those who are already pursuing a career in academic hepatology.
