Mid-career invisibility occurs when highly qualified women are disregarded, ignored, or fall out of the career pipeline even as they rise in professional stature. The phenomenon results from the intersection of numerous well-documented micro- and macro-inequities; additionally, even if women in their early career receive professional accolades and attention, that intentional support may wane towards mid-career. Ambiguous feedback, vague promotion criteria not aligned with responsibilities, low institutional support for leadership advancement, increased burdens of unsupported citizenship tasks (with accompanying risks of being on “stairs to nowhere” rather than “escalators” to leadership roles), experiences of microaggressions, bias, or harassment, and often being primary carers for family members including aging parents, are all contributing factors to mid-career invisibility. Unfortunately, little research describes the experiences of midcareer invisibility for women of intersectional identities; furthermore, there is no known information on the experiences of women clinical informaticians in a discipline (informatics) that involves boundary-spanning roles which frequently require wearing multiple professional “hats.” transitions across various sectors (e.g., academia, industry, government, non-government, and/or additional sectors) often occur in the career of an informatics professional; the relationship of such career transitions to women clinical informaticians’ mid-career experiences and potential invisibility is not known. After an initial introduction to the core topic of this panel, each panelist will share their lived experiences, reflections, and tips for overcoming common contributors to mid-career invisibility.

Learning Objectives

  • Identify and explain key factors contributing to mid-career invisibility among highly qualified women, including micro- and macro-inequities, unsupported professional tasks, and systemic barriers to leadership advancement.
  • Evaluate how intersectional identities and career transitions across sectors uniquely impact the mid-career experiences of women clinical informaticians, and apply panelists’ strategies to mitigate or navigate these challenges in professional settings.
