Medical meetings are a time for increasing scientific visibility and leadership. We aimed to examine women's representation in French National Internal Medicine meetings (2013–2018). Women represented 25% of congress presidents, 22% of plenary session speakers, 19% of plenary session moderators and 25% oral session moderators, but 45% of anonymously selected oral communication speakers. Women are under‐represented among invited speakers in French Internal Medicine meetings.
