		<p>The first meeting of the DIC-SBC Women’s Group was held at the 11<sup>th</sup> Conference of the Department of Cardiovascular Imaging (DIC) of the Brazilian Society of Cardiology (Sociedade Brasileira de Cardiologia [SBC], in São Paulo, August 28–31, 2022.</p>
		<p>This meeting aimed to organize a work group to encourage and develop greater participation of female DIC members, speakers in scientific activities, guideline authors, and members of the Board of Directors.</p>
		<p>In the last century, the number of female physicians has significantly increased in Brazil: they comprised 22.3% in 1910, only 13% in 1960, and 46.6% in 2020 (<xref ref-type="table" rid="t1">Table 1</xref>).<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B1">1</xref></sup></p>

		<p>Analysis of the number of new physician registrations in the Medical Councils by sex revealed 50.4% in 2009 and 57.5% in 2020 (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="f01">Figure 1</xref>).<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B1">1</xref></sup></p>

		<p>However, a funnel is noted in the analysis of the participation of women in medical societies, as despite the increased number of new registrations throughout Brazil, the SBC includes a majority of men and only 31% women (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="f02">Figure 2</xref>).</p>

		<p>The participation of women on the DIC Board of Directors is even lower at 14.8% (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="f04">Figure 4</xref>). Since the inception of the DIC in 1988, of the 17 presidents, only two were women: Dr. Marcia Barbosa, from Minas Gerais, in the 2008–2009 biennium; and Dr. Samira Saady Morhy, from São Paulo, in the 2016–2017 biennium.</p>

		</p>
		<p>In this inaugural meeting of the DIC Women’s Group, approximately 26 DIC members participated, and issues impacting the participation of women in Societies were discussed, such as difficulty dividing their time between family and profession, different types of harassment, impostor syndrome, and others.

			<p>No 11° Congresso do Departamento de Imagem Cardiovascular (DIC) da Sociedade Brasileira de Cardiologia (SBC), sediado em São Paulo, nos dias 28 a 31 de julho de 2022, realizamos a primeira reunião do Grupo de Mulheres do DIC-SBC.</p>
			<p>O objetivo deste encontro foi organizar um grupo de trabalho para estimular e desenvolver uma maior participação das mulheres como Membros do DIC, como palestrantes de atividades científicas, autoras de diretrizes e membros da diretoria.</p>
			<p>No último século, houve aumento significativo do número de médicas no Brasil: erámos 22,3% em 1910; em 1960, a participação das mulheres na medicina caiu para apenas 13%, mas, em 2020, já erámos 46,6% (<xref ref-type="table" rid="t1002">Tabela 1</xref>).<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B1">1</xref></sup></p>

			<p>Quando analisamos o número de registros de novos médicos nos conselhos de medicina, segundo o sexo, as mulheres já eram maioria em 2009, com 50,4%, atingindo 57,5% do número de registro de novos médicos em 2020 (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="f01002">Figura 1</xref>).<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B1">1</xref></sup></p>

			</p>
			<p>Porém ainda existe um “funil” quando analisamos a participação das mulheres nas sociedades médicas, pois, apesar do aumento do registro de novas médicas em todo o Brasil, quando observamos o número de mulheres membros da SBC, verificamos uma maioria masculina, com participação feminina de apenas 31% (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="f02002">Figura 2</xref>).</p>

A participação feminina na Diretoria do DIC é menor ainda: 14,8% (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="f04002">Figura 4</xref>). Desde a fundação do DIC, em 1988, dos 17 presidentes, apenas dois eram mulheres: Dra. Marcia Barbosa, de Minas Gerais, no biênio 2008-2009, e Dra. Samira Saady Morhy, de São Paulo, no biênio 2016-2017.</p>

			<p>Dessa reunião inaugural do DIC-SBC, participaram aproximadamente 26 membros do DIC e foram discutidos assuntos que impactam na participação das mulheres nas sociedades, como dificuldade em dividir seu tempo entre a família e a profissão, diversos tipos de assédio, síndrome do impostor, entre outros.

			</p>
			<p>A proposta inicial foi a de levarmos para a diretoria atual um plano para que passemos a ter eventos científicos e diretrizes com equidade de participação entre os sexos nas próximas diretorias.</p>
			<p>Contamos com todas as mulheres do DIC para nos ajudar nesse grupo de trabalho!</p>
