“…Government investigation may affect the revision of gender gap in Japan medical schools after trouble in 2018. The number of female students also increased, but it was not much higher than other OECD countries (5) . In the United States, the prevalence of women students accepted in medical school gradually increased since 2011 and reached over 50% in recent years ( Figure 3 ).…”

Positive action"Positive provision of opportunities for either women or men within necessary limits to redress gender disparities in terms of formation of a society where both women and men shall be given equal opportunities to participate voluntarily in activities in all fields as equal partners in society" (Article 2, The Basic Act for a Gender Equal Society) ■ Target of "30% by 2020"With the aim of achieving the target of "increasing the share of women in leadership positions to at least 30% by 2020 in all fields of society" ("the target of 30%" set in 2003), numerical targets for women's participation were set in the Third Basic Plan for Gender Equality for a wide range of fields, including politics, national and local governments, private sector, education and research. The Fourth Basic Plan shows the highly ambitious targets that could be achieved if all-out efforts are made in each field for the expansion of women's social participation. The plan also includes a target regarding the layer of women in previous stage who will assume leadership positions in the future.

“…Implicit bias within the healthcare system against female physicians in general and minoritized female physicians in specific is affecting wellbeing and career advancement on many levels ( 29 ). This is being reflected in measurable outcomes like lower incomes of female vs. male physicians for the same work ( 18 , 30 ) but also less tangible measures like perceived lack of support and respect from faculty reported by minoritized female students ( 31 ).…”

BackgroundPatient bias and prejudice directed against physicians from diverse backgrounds is a frequent occurrence in healthcare. Female physicians have long experienced discrimination in the healthcare system based on their gender alone. The dynamic known as Patient Prejudice toward Providers (PPtP) is disproportionately affecting female physicians because it is frequently compounded by sexism.AimThe goal of this study was to explore the impact of PPtP on female resident and attending physicians.MethodsUsing transcribed one-on-one interviews from a larger study of PPtP affecting resident and attending physicians, ten interviews with female physicians (resident and attending) from diverse ethnic backgrounds and countries of training at a large academic medical center were analyzed. The authors independently reviewed the interviews using an iterative process within and across interviews to inductively identify repeating words, phrases, and concepts relevant to the study aim.ResultsDemographics of the ten participants included age (mean 34.6 years), ethnicity (6 Asian, 2 Hispanic, 2 African), and country of training (10% IMG vs. 90% US trained). Four of the interviewees were residents and six were attendings. Themes that emerged from the analysis included experiencing “A Gendered Continuum of Abuse,” “Establishing a Higher Standard of Competency,” “Overcoming the Stereotype of the White Male Physician,” “The Physicality of Self Identity,” and “The Need to be Protective of Minoritized Trainees.” All participants agreed that these perceptions created an adverse environment at the workplace and impacted on patient care.ConclusionsDiscrimination of physicians based on their gender or their race/ethnicity has been reported. This study highlights the compounded effects of patient prejudice on female minoritized physicians. Organizations and individuals should identify and implement strategies to address the impact of PPtP and sexism in order to create an environment where all women can thrive professionally.
