The number of women in medicine has increased dramatically in the last few decades, and women now represent half of all incoming medical students. Yet residency training still resembles the historical model when there were few women in medicine. This article reviews the issues facing women in residency today. Data suggest that the experience of female residents is more negative than that of males. Unique challenges facing female residents include the existence of gender bias and sexual harassment, a scarcity of female mentors in leadership positions, and work/family conflicts. Further research is needed to understand the experience of female residents and to identify barriers that hinder their optimal professional and personal development. Structural and cultural changes to residency programs are needed to better accommodate the needs of female trainees.
在过去几十年里，医学领域的女性数量大幅增加，如今女性占所有新入学医学生的一半。然而，住院医师培训仍类似于医学领域女性较少时的历史模式。本文回顾了当今女性住院医师面临的问题。数据表明，女性住院医师的经历比男性更负面。女性住院医师面临的独特挑战包括性别偏见和性骚扰的存在、担任领导职务的女性导师稀缺以及工作/家庭冲突。需要进一步研究以了解女性住院医师的经历，并确定阻碍她们实现最佳职业和个人发展的障碍。住院医师培训项目需要进行结构和文化变革，以更好地满足女性受训人员的需求。
