Women in Ophthalmology Launches New Podcast Series
The Royal Australian and New Zealand College of Ophthalmologists (RANZCO) Women in Ophthalmology (WIO) group has launched a new podcast series called 10 minutes of science. Each edition features an expert in their field discussing an article of their choosing. These articles have been selected due to their impact on the real-world practice of ophthalmology. The series is aimed at the general comprehensive ophthalmologists and includes topics across a range of subspecialities. It is hosted by Women in Ophthalmology Deputy Chair, Dr Robyn Troutbeck.
This series was made possible with support from Johnson & Johnson Vision and can be accessed at: https://ranzco.edu/home/community-engagement/wio/wio-podcasts/
Since being established, the WIO group has undertaken several initiatives to increase female representation on RANZCO committees and in leadership roles, and to help women succeed at all levels of their ophthalmology careers. In recent years, the WIO has established a core Advisory Group to better support female trainees and Fellows, advocating on issues that enable greater gender equality in ophthalmology and medicine more broadly.
