Gender Equity in Clinical Trial Leadership

Gender disparity in clinical trial leadership has been described previously in fields such as cardiology. In this issue of JAMA Internal Medicine, Waldhorn et al demonstrate that this issue is more pervasive. They look across clinical trials of different medical specialties and report a persistent underrepresentation of women serving as principal investigators. This disparity was shown to exist in nearly every field other than rheumatology.
