Women As One is pleased to continue its partnership with Radcliffe Cardiology, reaffirming our shared commitment to expanding access to high-quality clinical education for women physicians worldwide.

Through the partnership, educational videos from Women As One’s CLIMB Clinical Skills Training Program are available on the Radcliffe Cardiology platform, bringing expert-led education to a broader international audience. The collaboration includes content from CLIMB 2026, alongside recordings from previous editions, creating an ongoing resource for cardiovascular professionals seeking to deepen their clinical knowledge.

Expanding access to specialized clinical education

CLIMB Clinical 2026 gives women physicians worldwide opportunities to build their clinical knowledge and procedural skills through specialized education. The six-month program features monthly 90-minute sessions combining expert-led teaching, detailed case analysis, collaborative discussion, and practical, case-based learning.

This year’s program covers four clinical areas:

• Transthyretin amyloidosis: Exploring diagnosis, imaging, treatment, and long-term disease management.
• ASCVD prevention: Lipid management: Reviewing cardiovascular risk assessment, lipid-lowering therapies, and evidence-based prevention strategies.
• Cardiorenal metabolic health: Examining the interconnected management of cardiovascular, kidney, and metabolic conditions.
• AI in cardiovascular medicine: Exploring artificial intelligence applications in clinical care, alongside considerations such as safety, regulation, transparency, and bias.

These topics reflect important areas of evolving clinical practice, giving physicians opportunities to engage with specialist knowledge and consider how evidence can inform patient care.

The online format lets participants access education without traveling, making specialized learning available to physicians across countries and career stages. Sharing selected educational content through Radcliffe Cardiology further extends access beyond program participants.

The partnership also provides access to recordings from earlier editions of CLIMB. Physicians can explore the CLIMB 2024 video series, covering atrial fibrillation, heart failure, prevention, structural imaging, and transthyretin amyloidosis, and the CLIMB 2025 video series, featuring cardiomyopathies, complex cases in interventional cardiology, and structural interventions.

The CLIMB 2026 video collections are available by topic: Transthyretin amyloidosis, ASCVD prevention and lipid management, cardiorenal metabolic health, and AI in cardiovascular medicine. Together, these resources offer physicians opportunities to revisit clinical topics and continue learning beyond the original program sessions.

Addressing barriers to women’s professional development

Although women continue to contribute significantly to cardiovascular medicine, disparities in representation and professional advancement persist, particularly in specialized and procedural fields. Research shows that gender-based barriers can limit women’s opportunities to develop their expertise and advance in the specialty.

In a 2022 survey of cardiology trainees and consultants in Ireland, 30% of women, compared with just 2% of men, reported missing opportunities for professional advancement because of their gender. A separate review of research on gender inequality in cardiology found that women were more likely than their male colleagues to report exclusion from opportunities based on gender. These challenges are also reflected in procedural cardiology, where women accounted for only 2% of transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) operators and 1% of transcatheter mitral valve repair (TMVr) operators in a 2022 review.

By supporting women’s access to specialized knowledge, Women As One aims to help physicians strengthen their clinical expertise and build the confidence to contribute to advances in cardiovascular care. Making educational resources available to a wider audience is an important part of that commitment.

“We are delighted to continue our partnership with Radcliffe Cardiology to make high-quality clinical education more accessible. In doing so, we can support women physicians to develop the expertise and leadership skills they need to shape the future of cardiovascular medicine.” – Karoline Bowman, Head of Programs and Partnerships, Women As One

Continuing the commitment to clinical education

The extended partnership between Women As One and Radcliffe Cardiology supports the continued sharing of specialist clinical education with cardiovascular professionals worldwide. By making selected CLIMB content available through an established educational platform, the collaboration helps extend the value of the program beyond its original participants.
