A radiology department is easy to count. You can list the residents, the consultants, the head of department, the training programme director. Counts like these get published by hospitals, by national medical registers and by specialty societies, and they tend to describe the same gradient: women are a minority of radiologists, and a smaller minority at every step up towards leadership. How steep that gradient is, and whether it is flattening, is not settled. The counts come from different sources, cover different countries and different years, and draw the boundary of the specialty differently, some counting interventional radiology or radiation oncology and some not. Almost all are published as a single snapshot of one country, so nobody has read them as one series. This project reads them as one series, produces the numbers by career stage, and tests whether the picture has shifted over the years the data were collected. It suits someone comfortable counting carefully, and it ends in a submitted paper.
Read up on how medical workforce data is collected and reported. Help run the search, screen studies, extract the counts and their sources by career stage, and write a section of the paper.
