As female therapeutic endoscopists and governing board members of Women in Endoscopy (WIE), our group applauds Yu, et al for their study examining “Gender Disparities in Advanced Endoscopy Fellowship” [1]. While this study focuses on advanced endoscopy fellowship programs utilizing the ASGE Match process in the United States, these results highlight the global issue of unequal gender representation in this field.
