BACKGROUND: This study challenges the prevalent belief that surgical roles demand masculine traits, potentially limiting women's suitability for such positions. Contrary to this stereotype, we explored the hypothesis that in sensitive surgical procedures, where communal traits are valued, women patients might favor women surgeons. Two experimental studies investigated women's preferences for a man versus a woman surgeon in a breast exam and breast surgery. METHODS: In two studies we experimentally tested women's preferences for a man versus a woman surgeon for a breast exam (a noninvasive and non-complicated procedure), and breast surgery (an invasive and more complicated procedure)...

Jeffrey K Aronson
In 1863 the MP William Ewart suggested that "it might be practicable... to have inscribed on those houses in London which have been inhabited by celebrated persons, the names of such persons." Accordingly, in 1867 the first such inscriptions, which came to be known as blue plaques, were put up by the Society of Arts, commemorating Lord Byron and Napoleon III at places in London where they had lived. The society put up 35 such plaques over the next 35 years when the scheme was taken over by the London County Council, which gave way to the Greater London Council in 1965 and finally English Heritage, in 1986...

In Pakistan, women outnumber men in medical colleges with 80 percent enrollment, yet many fail to practice medicine following graduation. Pakistan Medical Council (PMC) states 50 percent of graduated women doctors either did not practice or left employment in a short period. Thus, the non-servicing women doctors are assumed as the one of the major causes for the overall doctors' shortage in the country. Addressing this enduring matter, this study aims to explore and understand the factors that discourage women doctors from practicing medicine in Pakistani hospitals...

BACKGROUND: The long-standing underrepresentation of women in leadership positions in medicine is well-known, but poorly documented globally. There is some evidence of the gender gap in academia, medical society leadership, or specific problems in some specialties. However, there are no investigations analyzing all medical specialties together and reporting the glass ceiling from a 360º perspective that includes positions in academia, research, professional organizations, and clinical activity...

The Women Doctors Career Symposium entitled "Dreams: Female Hematologists' Talk" was held at the 84th Annual Meeting of the Japanese Society of Hematology. I would like to share my experience as a board-certified "hematologist" and "clinical laboratory physician." Certified clinical laboratory physician is one of the 19 fundamental areas in the Japanese Medical Specialty board, but the number is small, and it is also an area where hematologists can easily face challenges. It also allows you to balance career advancement and various life events...

UNLABELLED: Women in gastroenterology are underrepresented all over the world and in South Asia, the numbers are even fewer. Women doctors in South Asia have their unique set of problems that they have to deal with. They are trained well and are keen to publish but are not considered good enough. They do not get the same opportunities as their male colleagues. There is more expectation from women doctors to look after their families and children. We can correct this discrepancy by giving more opportunities, arranging flexible training, deserving promotions, leadership roles, equal pay, and research mentors for women doctors in gastroenterology in South Asia, and educating our society to treat women doctors, at par with men...

OBJECTIVES: To identify factors influencing residency training program selection by women residents in urology and to evaluate the residents' gender-based experiences during training. Urology remains a disproportionately male-physician dominated field. Understanding the needs and experiences of women residents is essential for developing strategies to recruit and retain more women urologists in independent practice. METHODS: An anonymous, 15-item web-based electronic survey was posted on social media and distributed via institutional email addresses between May-July 2021, targeted to all 461 current women U...

BACKGROUND: Achieving an optimal work-life balance (WLB) is an important social issue not only for workers in general but also for doctors due to the shortage of women doctors. The present study aims to survey doctors' WLB and their use of household chore support services (HCSS). METHODS: A questionnaire survey was conducted with doctors working in Tottori Prefecture and a total of 289 responses (212 men, 77 women) were obtained and analyzed. To examine the relationship between gender and satisfaction with working patterns or with life for WLB, as well as the use of HCSS, a chi-squared test was conducted...

INTRODUCTION: Academic geographical mobility is considered to be critical to academic excellence, but it is a gendered terrain. This study seeks to examine the career progression of Chinese women academics, as shaped by gender norms, regarding academic geographical (im)mobility throughout their doctoral education, in retrospect. METHODS: To address this issue, driven by the Butlerian theoretical concept of "a stylized repetition of acts," the present study analyzed the qualitative data from semi-structured interviews with seven Chinese women academics to investigate their academic geographical mobility decisions throughout their doctoral education based on contested discourses of traditional Chinese culture and the advantages of academic geographical mobility for their career advancement...

In 1933, the German Society for Internal Medicine (DGIM) willingly adapted to the ideology and politics of the Nazi regime. Seven members of the Society were Jewish women doctors, women making up 1 % of all members by that time. By pursuing a career in medicine, these women refused to take on the traditional woman's role, opting instead for an unusual path in life and making the medical profession their central mission despite difficult conditions. Under Nazi dictatorship, they were deprived of their livelihood, disenfranchised, persecuted and forced into exile...

This study examined Jewish ultra-Orthodox (Haredi) women doctoral students to analyze the shaping of their religious and academic identities, and particularly the coping strategies they use to reconcile them. It is informed by theories on the definition of social and collective identities and the way individuals assimilate upon encountering a new collective, as well as by actual processes of Haredi integration in Israeli academia over the years. The study concludes that in their academic development, these women challenge their traditional social worlds and enter the world of learning, which in their community is exclusively reserved for men...

Women doctors in public health were able to achieve consultant status, and major strategic leadership roles, well ahead of female colleagues in other areas of medical and, especially, surgical practice. This development was bound up with the struggles in the early days of the Faculty of Community Medicine to achieve its status as a separate Faculty of the Royal College of Physicians, raise standards and encourage able and committed doctors to join the specialty. This paper outlines the history of public health medicine in England between 1974 and the 1990s when, through a combination of design, and happenstance in response to organizational changes, a gender-neutral specialty was created, benefiting both men and women, and enabling the latter, in particular, to flourish...

Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) fields have historically been disciplines dominated by white men. The colonial ideology designated Africans as subhuman, inferior intellectually, socially, and culturally to the white masculine norm in STEM disciplines. STEM education and careers were thus constructed to attract white, heterosexual, middle-to-upper class, Christian, able-bodied men. This positioning ensured that STEM environments remained inhospitable to anyone whose identity was outside the constructed somatic norm...

Dr Agnes Savill was the UK's first female consultant dermatologist with a career journey which was, by any standards, extraordinary. She was awarded her MA in 1893 making her the first female graduate from St Andrews University. She then trained as a doctor in Glasgow in the earliest cohort of women granted the opportunity to study medicine. Following qualification, and during her early professional years, she maintained an involvement in the women's suffrage movement by publicly indicting the government for its brutal treatment of women suffrage prisoners in the 'Votes for Women' campaign...
