尽管过去50年来女医生的数量有所增加，但女性在医学关键领域的代表性仍然不足，例如诊所所有者和合作伙伴、专业协会领导人、首席研究员、正教授、主席和院长。妇女的报酬较低，往往是做更多的工作。过敏和免疫学（AI）作为一个专业，缺乏大量的劳动力研究，但各专业的趋势是一致的。我们回顾了目前对人工智能中女性的了解，并考虑了实践，进步和贡献的障碍。通过一项新的调查，我们发现，女性在人工智能领域遇到的挑战可以归纳为6个主题：工作与生活的平衡、专业发展、薪酬公平、导师和赞助、偏见以及性骚扰和不当行为。我们必须共同应对这些挑战，为人工智能领域的女性提供一个公平的环境，让她们茁壮成长，特别是那些受到交叉影响的女性。为此，我们建议采取有针对性的切实行动，以促进机会，提供机构支持，并在人工智能环境中推进报告和文化变革。
Despite increases in the number of female physicians in the past 50 years, women remain underrepresented in key areas of medicine, such as practice owners and partners, professional society leaders, principal investigators, full professors, chairs, and deans. Women are paid less, oftentimes for more work. Allergy and Immunology (AI), as a specialty, lacks substantial workforce research, but trends across specialties are consistent. We review what is currently known about women in AI and consider barriers to practice, advancement, and contribution. Through a new inquiry, we find that the challenges women in AI encounter can be summarized through 6 themes: work-life balance, professional advancement, salary equity, mentorship and sponsorship, bias, and sexual harassment and misconduct. Together, we must address these challenges head-on and provide an equitable environment for women in AI to thrive, especially those affected by intersectionality. To do so, we suggest targeted, tangible actions to promote opportunities, offer institutional support, and advance reporting and culture change outlets across AI settings.
