This discussion was initiated after an EM FOAMite\u00a0pointed out on twitter that no women were slated to speak at the 2016 Resuscitate NYC conference- a conference organized by <a href=\"http:\/\/emcrit.org\/blogpost\/women-conference-speakers\/\" target=\"_blank\">EMCrit<\/a> founder Dr. Scott Weingart.<\/p>\n<p>Dr. Weingart joined FemInEM co-founders Drs. Dara Kass and Jenny Beck-Esmay as well as Dr. Simon Carley for a discussion of how this happened and what we might do to address it. Highlights of the discussion included the responsibility of mentors and leaders (both male and female) to continue to be aware of disparities in opportunity and experience and to develop strategies to consciously combat bias.<\/p>\n<div class=\"embed-responsive embed-responsive-16by9\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"723\" height=\"407\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/lile4arX7ws?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><u>Highlights (timestamped for minute markers)<\/u>:<\/p>\n<p>1:30: Dr. Weingart talks about the original tweet and explains his process and standards for selecting speakers at ResuscitateNYC<\/p>\n<p>11:10: Dr. Kass and Dr. Carley give an \u00a0alternative perspective on how there may still have been biases in speaker selection<\/p>\n<p>19:30: The discussants talk about how dynamics may affect women on the &#8220;speaker circuit.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>We want to thank Drs.
