의과대학 여학생 증가에 따른 수련교육 변화의 필요성

Abstract

Women’s educational opportunities have been increasing and women’s general advancement in higher education is the underlying factor behind the increasing number of female students in medical school. A number of issues affect female students and residents, including the existence of gender bias and sexual harassment, higher stress levels and lower levels of work satisfaction, the lack of role models in academic medicine, and conflict between work and family roles, including challenges surrounding having children. To what extent female and male medical students and residents make different career and life style choices is also an important issue. The shortage of doctors in surgical departments and maldistribution among specialties are of great concern in the health care system and medicine’s future. We must prepare to solve these problems. New medical policies and educational approaches are needed for the future.
