Summary: | We report our assessment of the experience of female interventional radiologists in different Arab countries based on an online questionnaire that was sent to 57 female interventional radiologists in 5 Arab countries. These interventional radiologists were identified from the Pan Arab Interventional Radiology Society database and through personal communications. The survey included items related to demographics, social status, and the professional challenges of interventional radiologists, with a response rate of 93%. Forty-five percent of respondents were between 31 and 45 years of age. Interventional radiology practice represented 25%–50% of work time for 51% of respondents, and the main challenges reported were related to radiation exposure, balancing family/work life, and the male-dominated interventional radiology community. |
