Talk:Women in medicine

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Plans and needs for the article

  • History of laws and trends around the world restriction women's access to medical education and working as medical professionals; pathbreaking women physicians Yoshioka Yayoi, Elizabeth Blackwell, etc.)
  • Women working in allied health professions; traditional female practices of medicine (midwifery)
  • Sociology within modern-day medical professions: glass ceiling for management; specialty distinctions (surgery versus family practice)
  • Restrictions on male/female relations with patients (for example, religious restrictions affecting women's access to male patients and male access to female patients; this has a significant impact on healthcare for women where women's access to medical professions is limited)
  • women's medical education - struggle to get into medical colleges; setting up separate women's medical colleges
