Abstract
For the past 6 years, the Society for Imaging Informatics in Medicine (SIIM) annual meeting has provided a forum for women in imaging informatics to discuss the unique challenges they face. These sessions have evolved into a platform for understanding, sharing experiences, and developing practical strategies. The 2023 session was organized into three focus groups devoted to discussing imposter syndrome, workplace microaggressions, and work-life balance. This paper summarizes these discussions and highlights the significant themes and narratives that emerged. We aim to contribute to the larger conversation on gender equity in the informatics field, emphasizing the importance of understanding and addressing the challenges faced by women in informatics. By documenting these sessions, we seek to inspire actionable change towards a more inclusive and equitable future for everyone in imaging informatics.
