Women In Medicine

Abstract

Medical Sciences is the branch of science concerned with the study of the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of disease. Some of the hurdles that women face in medical science which was once unanimously seen as an ‘old white boys club’ are similar cross-culturally but more often are uniquely influenced by cultural and societal norms that vary from country to country. The aim of our study is to elucidate the challenges women face once completing their undergraduate medical education and identify the difficulties that affect them during their specialty and their experiences of discrimination and hurdles when moving up the career ladder. We also wish to find out how their domestic lives influence their careers by asking about the attitudes of their parental and betrothed family. Frequently cited reasons in western countries by women who are discouraged from pursuing surgery as a career are a lack of female role models and a hostile culture with a lack of work-life flexibility. In addition to this women may not feel comfortable pursuing surgical subspecialty due to the fallacious axiom of the ‘surgical personality’. Whilst there definitely is a surgical personality its characteristics are not gender-specific and may be found in both men and women however having the skills and traits suited to a particular profession may not let one prosper due to social circumstances and external factors. The lack of well-conducted research on such an issue in low and middle-income countries makes this study both exciting and necessary to provide baseline data and give an accurate picture of the issues we face which is the first step to be done if we are to solve them.
