To address this disparity, the Women in Medicine Leadership Accelerator has developed a leadership skill development program specifically tailored for midcareer women physicians. The program incorporates key principles derived from effective leadership training models and aims to combat systemic barriers while equipping women with the necessary tools to navigate and transform the medical leadership landscape. %M 37327052 %R 10.2196/47801 %U https://www.jmir.org/2023/1/e47801 %U https://doi.org/10.2196/47801 %U http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/37327052
