Description

THE GLASS CEILING IS DEFINED AS "THOSE ARTIFICIAL barriers based on attitudinal or organizational bias that prevent qualified individuals from advancing upward in their organization into management level positions." (1) Despite the large number of physicians in the United States (approximately 700,000), only about 2 percent identify administration as their primary professional activity. Physicians are not represented in medical management in proportion to their numbers among practicing physicians and in proportion to the number of non-physician administrators. Yet, a greater percentage of physicians are showing an interest in health care administration, and the demand for physician executives is rising dramatically. (2) Several authors have written about the impact of the glass ceiling on physicians and how it has prevented them from achieving positions of governance and leadership. In fact, health care management resembles other industries in its severe lack of women and minorities in senior management positions. The issue of pressing importance, however, is not whether female and minority physicians are victimized by the glass ceiling (they clearly are), or whether physicians as a class are unfairly denied access to senior management positions in health care organizations. Rather, what factors contribute to this situation and how can physicians break the glass ceiling?
