Is medical education ‘too male, too pale and too stale’?
UK students responding to a survey on gender bias report that if you don't look like 'an old white guy' you're not welcome: BMJ Open
Medical training is ‘too male and stale’, with female trainees warned not to wear lipstick and dissuaded from surgical careers because of a conflict with child-raising, say UK students.
Researchers from Hull York Medical School in York conducted individual interviews with 32 students (mean age 22 and 27 female), and nine educators at five medical schools to discover how they perceived gender bias within medical education.
