In order to identify the concerns and possible barriers for women considering careers in academic medicine, in 1990 the authors surveyed both men and women medical students, housestaff, postdoctoral students, and junior faculty at The University of California, San Francisco (UCSF). The authors achieved a 58% response rate from students and faculty, a 21% response rate from postdoctoral students, and a 15% response rate from housestaff. Results indicated that women at all levels were less interested in academic careers than were their male colleagues. Concerns about balancing family responsibilities, clinical practice, and teaching in addition to the research required of an academic career were mentioned most frequently. Women, especially those among the housestaff and junior faculty, reported fewer mentor relationships and role models. The authors discuss these findings in relation to other studies and describe what they are doing to foster women's interest and success in academic medicine at UCSF.
为了确定女性在考虑从事学术医学职业时所关注的问题和可能面临的障碍，1990年，作者对加利福尼亚大学旧金山分校（UCSF）的男女医学生、住院医师、博士后学生和初级教员进行了调查。作者从学生和教员那里获得了58%的回复率，从博士后学生那里获得了21%的回复率，从住院医师那里获得了15%的回复率。结果表明，各级别的女性对学术职业的兴趣低于她们的男性同事。最常被提及的问题是如何平衡家庭责任、临床实践、教学以及学术职业所需的研究。女性，尤其是住院医师和初级教员中的女性，报告称指导关系和榜样较少。作者将这些发现与其他研究进行了讨论，并描述了他们在UCSF为培养女性对学术医学的兴趣和促进其在学术医学领域取得成功所做的工作。
