INTRODUCTION: The field of medicine is characterized by within-field gender segregation: Gender ratios vary systematically by subdisciplines. This segregation might be, in part, due to gender bias in the assessment of women and men medical doctors. METHODS: We examined whether the assessments, i.e. overall score, department scores and skills scores, interns receive by their superiors during their internship year, vary as a function of their gender and the representation of women in the field...

Annie Reay Barker (1851-1945) was a medical pioneer who was amongst the first women to qualify as a doctor in the late nineteenth century. Unlike other medical women of her time, Barker did not attract notable attention or publicity, therefore little has been written about her personal and professional life. Following a successful, yet tragically short-lived, career at the Birmingham and Midland Hospital for Women, Barker was committed to Holloway Sanatorium in Virginia Water with a diagnosis of 'Chronic Mania'...

Background: In Japan, the number of female doctors has gradually increased; however, they form less than half of the average percentage (46.3% in 2016) among the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development member countries. In addition, some female doctors reduce their working hours for childbirth, housework, and childcare. Thus, women find it challenging to continue medical practice in Japan. The Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science, and Technology (MEXT) established a time-bound grants program from 2007 to 2009 to support female doctors and improve their working environment...

In the clinical practice of hematology, the awareness of team-based medical care has become predominant, and effective coordination with other medical staff members and different departments is essential. The transfusion department where I am employed is now responsible for hematopoietic stem cell transplantation in addition to transfusion therapy and, thus, is one of the divisions most closely involved with hematology. The roles of the doctor here range from intra-hospital tasks, such as the management and supervision of transfusion to those outside the hospital, to providing education to medical staffs from other facilities and edification to blood donors...

The Career Development for Women Pediatric Endocrinologists and Work-Life Balance Committee and Support Team for Women Doctors in Education and Training Committee investigated the current situation of women doctors in the Japanese Society for Pediatric Endocrinology (JSPE). The proportion of women doctors (PWD) was as follows. 1) Members of JSPE: 40.2% in fiscal 2018, versus 33.3% in fiscal 2010; 2) councilors: 21.6% from fiscal 2014 to 2017, versus 6.3% from fiscal 2008 to 2010; 3) board members: 13.6% from fiscal 2014 to 2017, versus 0% from fiscal 2008 to 2010; 4) board-certified endocrinologists (Pediatrics) and certified endocrine educators (Pediatrics): 31...

Gladys Mary Wauchope was a pioneering woman physician and general practitioner in London and Brighton. Descended from an ancient Scottish family, she was the second female medical student at the London Hospital Medical College after Elizabeth Garrett Anderson, enrolling during the brief period from 1918 to 1928 in which women were permitted to study medicine in mainstream London medical schools due to shortages of doctors caused by the First World War. Unperturbed by opposition to her gender from male colleagues, she was initially house physician on the firm of Sir Robert Hutchison at 'the London', and went on to hold an array of posts in large London hospitals at a time when finding such work was challenging for women doctors...

PURPOSE: Burnout (BO) is a serious phenomenon affecting US physicians. Female physicians, now accounting for a larger share of the workforce, are thought to experience higher levels of BO in some situations compared with their male counterparts. The current review aimed to systematically examine extant literature on physician BO as it relates especially to the female physician. METHODS: Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guided search of 4 databases yielding empirical studies with relevant findings regarding female physician BO, published during the time period 2010-2019...

This study examined three women, AHN Soo-kyung, KIM Youngheung and KIM Hae-ji, who were officially licensed as doctors for the first time in Joseon. I wanted to find a new "starting point" of women's medicine history by scrutinizing their home environment, medical classes, graduation and medical license, and life after becoming doctors. The parents of KIM Young-heung and KIM Hae-ji might have been enlightened and Christians. AHN Soo-kyung did not have a Christian family. Her father, AHN Wang-geo, who was both an educator and a poet, was aware of the need for women's education or modern education...

Opiophobia contributes to oligoanalgesia in the emergency department (ED), but its definition varies, and its association to healthcare providers' personality traits has been scantly explored. Our purpose was to study the different definitions of opiophobia and their association with two personality traits of doctors and nurses working in EDs, namely the stress from uncertainty and risk-taking. We used three online questionnaires: the 'Attitude Towards Morphine Use' Score (ATMS), the Stress From Uncertainty Scale (SUS) and the Risk-Taking Scale (RTS)...

In the last twenty years there has been an increase in the proportion of women practicing the medical profession which has occurred in parallel with the increase in participation of women in the scientific professions. Italy has a stable percentage of women at 40% in 2016 compared to 60% in the Baltic countries, Romania and Croatia (1). This increase in the total number obtained did not automatically guarantee women doctors the right to access the roles of leaders and fair economic consideration in all the European countries analyzed...

The objective of our study was to investigate differences in the management of men and women treated for hypertension while considering the gender of their physicians. We used the data from the cross-sectional Paris Prevention in General Practice survey, where 59 randomly recruited general practitioners (42 men and 19 women) from the Paris metropolitan area enroled every patient aged 25-79 years taking antihypertensive medication and seen during a 2-week period (520 men and 666 women) in 2005-6. The presence in the medical files of six items recommended for hypertension management (blood pressure measurement, smoking status, cholesterol, creatinine, fasting blood glucose and electrocardiogram) was analysed with mixed models with random intercepts and adjusted for patient and physician characteristics...

OBJECTIVE: Guidelines for asthma management contain a consensus recommendation that inhaled corticosteroid (ICS) dose should not be stepped down in pregnancy. However, this is not consistent with consumer preferences and pharmacological principles to minimize medication exposure during pregnancy. We investigated exacerbations after changes to ICS and long acting beta agonist (LABA) therapy in pregnant women with asthma. METHODS: Pregnant women ( n  = 220) were recruited to a randomized controlled trial (RCT) where maintenance treatment was adjusted monthly based on either symptoms (control group), or fractional exhaled nitric oxide (FeNO, to alter ICS) and symptoms (to alter LABA, FeNO group)...

BACKGROUND: The contract GP scheme in Norway has been a success, but the scheme's sustainability has been weakened. In summer 2017, the so-called Trønder rebellion arose among GPs who wished to analyse the situation. In order to obtain a better understanding of their total daily workload, all GPs in Norway were invited to record all their activity on a typical day in their practices. This included 22 pre-defined, currently relevant issues that form the basis of this article. MATERIAL AND METHOD: In 2018, all of Norway's 4 784 registered GPs received a web-based questionnaire survey...

Lillias Hamilton trained as a doctor in London, qualified in 1890 and practiced in Calcutta and later in Afghanistan where she was the personal physician to the Amir and the only Western doctor. After six years abroad, she returned to England but owing partly to establishment prejudice was unsuccessful in setting up a London practice and eventually became the Principal of a Women's Agricultural College. Her career illustrates the aspects of medical practice abroad in the 1890s, as well as the difficulties encountered by women doctors in England even after the route to qualification in the UK had been opened...

Multiple factors influence career choices including cultural values, balancing family responsibilities with professional growth, and career mentoring and support.
