Dr Gill Gibson discusses her presidency plans, obstetric violence, and fighting for equity in the specialty.
Incoming RANZCOG president Dr Gill Gibson has a passion for equity, regardless of gender, but acknowledges her role as the second female president in the college’s 25-year history.
In a recent editorial, Dr Gibson said there was a need to address low rates of men pursuing a career in obstetrics and gynaecology, including discrimination starting in medical school.
She spoke with AusDoc about breaking the glass ceiling and the challenges that lie ahead.
