Abstract

The Japanese Society for Pediatric Hematology/Oncology established a committee to support the activities of female physicians in 2020 during the coronavirus pandemic with the aim of enabling all members of society to be active in a gender-free manner. One of the activities of this committee is to organize a symposium to support the empowerment of female physicians at annual meetings. The third symposium was held at the 65th annual meeting. Dr. Takao Deguchi and Dr. Takako Miyamura were the chairpersons, and four female physicians presented their experiences as symposium speakers.
