Draft:Susan Thompson Hingle

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
  • Comment: None of the citations are independent coverage, all being from organisations where she holds a significant role. Quite a bit of the text needs to be revised. The "Awards" section is particularly difficult to follow, and it's unclear how she demonstrated her dedication to AMWA in roles with other organisations. The last sentence of the lead also needs to be rephrased. Some text seems quite promotional. Please also see MOS:DOCTOR. Mgp28 (talk) 16:34, 13 August 2024 (UTC)

Dr. Susan T. Hingle, a former Chair of the ACP Board of Regents and Board of Governors, has highlighted the gender gap in medical education. Despite the belief that gender parity in medical school should lead to more women leaders in medicine, the current situation is not the case. Hingle believes that the 20 years since her departure from medical school should have seen more significant improvements in the leadership gap. She points out that the ratio of department chairmen and deans is in the teens, suggesting that the issue of gender parity in medicine needs more attention. Dr. Hingle stresses how critical it is to close the leadership gap in the medical industry.
