About Gender Equity in the Medical Profession
The presence of women in the practice of medicine extends back to ancient times; however, up until the last few decades, women have comprised only a small percentage of medical students. The gradual acceptance of women in male-dominated specialties has increased, but a commitment to improving gender equity in the medical community within leadership positions and in the academic world is still being discussed.
"Up until 1970s, women comprised only a small percentage of medical students. In the last few decades, the reality has improved significantly, but unfortunately, this change is yet to be reflected within leadership positions and in the academic world. In some male-dominated specialties such as surgery, despite the number of women is increasing steadily, still less than one third are female, with discrimination within medical school, in training programs and in consultancy positions. "

-Profs. Maria Irene Bellini and Vassilios E. Papalois
This book delivers essential discourse on strategically handling discrimination within medical school, training programs, and consultancy positions in order to eradicate sexism from the workplace. Featuring research on topics such as gender diversity, leadership roles, and imposter syndrome, this book is ideally designed for health professionals, doctors, nurses, hospital staff, hospital directors, board members, activists, instructors, researchers, academicians, and students seeking coverage on strategies that tackle gender equity in medical education.
