The daughters of Title IX encounter pervasive gender based stereotypes and discrimination that persist within the high stakes professional world of surgery - a workplace designed for and and still controlled by men.
Since 2003, half of medical students in the US have been women. Women remain in the minority in most surgical fields but their proportion is increasing. Leadership and culture in surgery remain disproportionately and persistently male despite ample evidence that women are just as good (and by many measures better) at delivering care.
Systemic barriers to success for women must be confronted and addressed for the surgical workforce to stay healthy and for patients to receive safe care.
