Quite a few hospitals have women in executive roles, some who are trained nurses, and basically "call the shots" in that role.
At San Francisco General Hospital, At least 50% of the Administrator(s)-On-Duty are women. It's a mixture of MDs, and nurses. In fact, I've only personally met one AOD who is male (nurse). The AOD calls the shots on a daily basis.
BTW one recent CEO, Susan Currin is a nurse & the current CEO Susan Ehrlich, MD are both women.
IMO It's not a validation issue. Companies (Tech or otherwise) have the culture they reinforce, dysfunctional or not.
- nickstefan12 10y agoRespectfully, I think you missed the point of the parent comment. Parent comment says: if `(former programmer) turned manager` is more equal in gender than `programmer`, that might mean there is a sorting function that is pulling women out of engineering and into management. His/her hypothesis is that being a "regular dev" is not very socially respected, and thus, pushes women to want out at a higher rate than other professions, like say, Doctor. The fact that Doctor gender ratio is similar to Manager Doctor gender ratio, actually fits his hypothesis. Not saying I disagree with either of you, just re stating.
