The glass ceiling is a form of organizational bias and discrimination that prevents qualified professionals from achieving positions of top governance and leadership. This article examines glass ceiling barriers that keep physicians from the upper reaches of management. While these factors apply mainly to women and minority physicians in academia, and are attributable to sexual harassment and discrimination, physicians as a class are frequently denied executive management positions. Such denial results from inadequate preparation for a career in health care administration. Important issues in the professional development of physician executives include mentoring, training and education, administrative experience, and cultural and personality factors. All of those must be considered when making the transition from medicine to management.
玻璃天花板是一种组织偏见和歧视形式，它阻碍合格的专业人员获得高层治理和领导职位。本文探讨了阻碍医生进入管理高层的玻璃天花板障碍。虽然这些因素主要适用于学术界的女性和少数族裔医生，且可归因于性骚扰和歧视，但作为一个群体的医生也经常被剥夺行政管理职位。这种拒绝是由于在医疗保健管理职业方面准备不足所致。医生管理人员职业发展中的重要问题包括指导、培训与教育、行政经验以及文化和个性因素。在从医学转向管理的过程中，所有这些都必须加以考虑。
