While medicine in general is becoming more female-dominated, women are still under-represented in surgery. Opinion is divided as to whether this is due to lifestyle considerations, disinterest or perceived discrimination. It is not clear at what stage these careers decisions are made.
300 first year medical students at Guy's King's and St Thomas' School of Medicine (GKT) were asked their view on possible career choices at this stage.
While men represented only 38% of the student population, they represented over two-thirds of the students wishing to pursue a career in surgery. Women still opt for general practice and paediatrics.
Surgery is a disproportionately unpopular career choice of the female first-year medical students of GKT compared to the male students. It appears that the choice is freely made and, at this stage at least, does not represent concerns about compatibility with lifestyle.
虽然总体上医学领域女性从业者越来越多，但外科领域女性的占比仍然较低。对于这是由于生活方式的考虑、缺乏兴趣还是感知到的歧视，存在不同观点。目前尚不清楚这些职业决策是在哪个阶段做出的。
对盖伊国王与圣托马斯医学院（GKT）的300名一年级医学生进行了调查，询问他们对现阶段可能的职业选择的看法。
虽然男性仅占学生总数的38%，但在希望从事外科职业的学生中，男性占比超过三分之二。女性仍然倾向于选择全科医疗和儿科。
与男性学生相比，GKT的女性一年级医学生选择外科作为职业的比例出奇地低。看来这种选择是自由做出的，至少在现阶段，并不代表对与生活方式兼容性的担忧。
