The research literature indicates that social network structure is integral to leadership success, but there are no empirical studies of women's networks. In male-dominated fields, such research is particularly important for understanding the advancement of women. This study investigated the social network structures of women in academic medicine at two career stages. The networks of 34 women in academic medicine were evaluated using the Humax Assessment of Social Capital. The study sample was comprised of 19 junior-level and 15 senior-level women participants of one of two leaderships programs: Early-Women In Medicine (WIM) and Executive Leadership in Academic Medicine (ELAM). The women in this study sample were self-identified as leaders who would make steady upward career progression toward the highest levels of academic medicine. Three main hypotheses were examined that predicted that senior-level women would have networks that were larger, less dense, more diverse, and more focused on career than those of junior-level women. No significant differences were detected in the social network structures between the two groups. Minority women in the study, however, were found to have much larger networks than their Caucasian counterparts, particularly at the senior-level (64.5 vs. 23 members, t = -2.857, alpha = .05). The findings suggest that women in academic medicine have large, entrepreneurial, somewhat diverse networks that are balanced between personal and professional ties. The rare study that documented the networks of professional women (Burt, 1998, 2000; Raider & Burt, 1996) previously indicated that networks with these characteristics translated into slower career progression and lower incomes for women. Researchers instead recommended smaller networks with stronger ties---at least one with an instrumental, presumably male, network member with an expansive network---for women who wanted to succeed in a male-dominated environment (Burt, 1998, 2000; Raider & Burt, 1996). This study's findings indicate that women may benefit from sizeable networks with casual ties---more like their male counterparts.
