title: Gender differences in gastroenterology.
abstract: Balancing professional and personal life can be particularly challenging for young women at the prime of their reproductive years. Young female gastroenterologists were found to work for larger groups, take fewer calls, and receive less compensation than their male counterparts. Getting more women into gastroenterology will be an achievable goal if the needs of female trainees are understood and met.
