She is director of the Leiden Headache Center and deputy head of the Department of Neurology. She is chair of the International Headache Society (IHS) Clinical Guideline Committee and the Women\u2019s Leadership Forum.

In this interview with Prof. Gisela Terwindt, we asked her about what inspired her to pursue a career in the headache field and her work as chair of the International Headache Society\u2019s Women\u2019s Leadership Forum.[\/vc_column_text]\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>

\n\t\t\tHow can we recruit more women to the field of migraine research and in leading roles?\t\t<\/h3>\n\t\t<\/span>\n\n\t<\/div>[vc_empty_space height=”8px”][vc_column_text]Ensure that women are included in the (sub)committees of the IHS, e.g., have double chairs for committees with both sexes. Help them to come further, inform them what they need to do to expand their networks.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”35px”]

\n\t\t\tWhat inspired you to pursue a career in the headache field?\t\t<\/h3>\n\t\t<\/span>\n\n\t<\/div>[vc_empty_space height=”8px”][vc_column_text]This was purely based on my scientific interest and drive.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”35px”]

\n\t\t\tWhat has been one main obstacle that you experienced as a woman in research?\t\t<\/h3>\n\t\t<\/span>\n\n\t<\/div>[vc_empty_space height=”8px”][vc_column_text]As long as you are a PhD and\/or resident in Neurology, there is not a problem, but as soon as you receive a position it will become difficult. Strong women leadership is still not appreciated, and to obtain a leaderships role is difficult as men tend to select other men who resemble themselves.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”35px”]\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>

\n\t\t\tWhat would be your advice to aspiring female researchers hoping for a future career in the headache field, possibly in a leading role?\t\t<\/h3>\n\t\t<\/span>\n\n\t<\/div>[vc_empty_space height=”8px”][vc_column_text]Search for a mentor, stay strong or give up. Many women actually do give up due to all the resistance they experience. Although seemingly female researchers\/physicians may have a good position, there are still many obstacles to be promoted for a better appointment (within the hospital, national, and international).[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”35px”]

\n\t\t\tWhat motivated you to pursue your inspiring involvement in the International Headache Society\u2019s Women\u2019s Leadership Forum, which you chair?\t\t<\/h3>\n\t\t<\/span>\n\n\t<\/div>[vc_empty_space height=”8px”][vc_column_text]I was asked by David Dodick to lead this forum. Due to the involvement of the other members and a young female PhD-student of my group, we were able to send out a survey. We hope to publish the results soon. However, I am not sure how we should proceed and what will be most effective. Maybe, ask the Leadership Forum to suggest possible candidates in case of vacancy of new positions at the International Headache Society, as many women are capable but not asked for positions.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”35px”]\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>[\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
