To investigate perceived obstacles to the advancement of women in academic medicine, we sent a questionnaire assessing perceptions of the fairness and supportiveness of the academic environment to the 229 female teaching and research faculty of the School of Physicians & Surgeons at Columbia University. The overall response rate was 85%. Forty-six percent believed that they had not had the same professional opportunities as their male colleagues, 52% believed that salaries were not equivalent for men and women in similar positions, and 50% believed that promotions were awarded in a biased manner. Thirty percent reported that sexist behavior was common and that sexual harassment occurred in the workplace. Eighty-one percent experienced conflicts between their professional and personal lives and most believed that the institution failed to adequately address the needs of women with children. This survey indicates that there are significant perceived obstacles to the advancement of women in academic medicine that must be addressed.
为了调查在学术医学领域女性职业发展中所察觉到的障碍，我们向哥伦比亚大学内外科医师学院的229名女性教学与研究人员发放了一份问卷，用以评估她们对学术环境公平性和支持性的看法。总体回复率为85%。46%的人认为她们没有获得与男同事相同的职业机会，52%的人认为类似职位上男女薪酬不平等，50%的人认为晋升存在偏见。30%的人报告称性别歧视行为很常见，且工作场所存在性骚扰。81%的人经历过职业与个人生活之间的冲突，并且大多数人认为该机构未能充分满足有孩子的女性的需求。这项调查表明，在学术医学领域女性职业发展存在明显的可察觉到的障碍，必须加以解决。
