120 Podcast focuses on speaking with healthcare professionals from around the world. Offering insights into how other healthcare services operate, global leadership, and diverse subjects.

This podcast miniseries obtained from the 120 compressions archive looks into empowering women in healthcare. In this series of interviews, where we will speak accomplished women from various areas of healthcare.

In 2024 a study on gender disparities showed that women make up approximately 33% of emergency physicians across 10 countries with the percentage varying significantly by nation, and rising from the residency level to attending physician roles in the US.

While roughly half of all US medical graduates are women, the percentage decreases with seniority in the emergency medicine (EM) field, with women making up only about 27-28% of EM attending physicians and 16% of EM department chairs.

The second episode kicks off with the founder of 120 Compressions Eric Cantor who is an active Paramedic, and instructor and has been working as an EMS provider for over 15 years speaking Dr. Lisa Rabinowitz who is an emergency medicine physician in Anchorage, Alaska. She received her medical degree from University of Washington School of Medicine and has been in practice for more than 20 years.
