Dr. Lara Khoury, MD, FRCPC, is an assistant professor and geriatrician at The Ottawa Hospital (TOH). She holds numerous leadership positions, including the post-graduate Program Director of the Geriatrics Program of the University of Ottawa and the Medical Director of TOH Inpatient Geriatric Service. Currently, she is also a Co-Chair of the Female Physician Leadership Committee at TOH. In order to remove barriers faced by female physicians wishing to take on leadership roles at TOH, a number of aspiring and passionate female doctors, including Dr. Khoury, came together to form the Female Physician Leadership Committee. With the full support of TOH’s senior management team, the committee has implemented several initiatives to encourage more female physicians to take on leadership roles. The committee’s role is imperative as there has been an increasing awareness of the gender imbalance at TOH over the past years. According to a survey conducted by TOH in 2011, only 30 percent of the hospital’s physicians are female, while less than 20% of them are division heads, and less than 8% of them are department heads [1]. Today, the numbers do not look very different. To gain further insight into the importance of female leadership in medicine and her extensive leadership involvement, we would like to share our interview with Dr. Khoury. ResumeDre Lara Khoury, MD, FRCPC, est professeure adjointe et geriatre a L’Hopital d’Ottawa (L’HO). Elle occupe de nombreux postes de direction, y compris le poste de directrice des programmes poste-diplomes du programme de geriatrie de l’Universite d’Ottawa et le poste de directrice medicale du Service de geriatrie de l’Hopital d’Ottawa. Elle est actuellement co-presidente du Comite de leadership des femmes medecins de L’HO. Afin d’eliminer les obstacles auxquels sont confrontees les femmes medecins souhaitant assumer des roles de leadership a L’HO, un certain nombre de femmes medecins aspirantes et passionnees, incluant Dre Khoury, se sont reunies pour former le Comite de direction des femmes medecins. Avec le plein appui de l’equipe de la haute direction de L’HO, le comite a mis en œuvre plusieurs initiatives pour encourager plus de femmes medecins a assumer des roles de leadership. Le role du comite est imperatif, suite a la sensibilisation accrue au desequilibre entre les sexes a L’HO au cours des dernieres annees. Selon une enquete menee par l’Hopital en 2011, seulement 30% des medecins de l’hopital sont des femmes, alors que moins de 20% d’entre eux sont chefs de division et moins de 8% sont des chefs de service [1]. Aujourd’hui, les chiffres ne sont pas tres differents. Pour mieux comprendre l’importance du leadership feminin en medecine et son implication considerable dans le leadership, nous aimerions partager notre interview avec la Dre Khoury.
