Women are generally under-represented in many academic medical settings. Through a brief commentary on this issue, the present article discusses possible explanations for this under-representation as well as potential solutions. Issues examined include women in leadership positions, attrition out of academic medicine, salary imbalance between men and women, potential bias among both genders, and the need for cultural change. We believe this is an extremely important issue of which we all need to be aware and hope that articles such as this will aid in starting a crucial conversation about gender issues in academic medicine.
在许多学术医学领域，女性的代表性普遍不足。通过对这一问题的简要评论，本文探讨了这种代表性不足的可能原因以及潜在的解决方案。所探讨的问题包括担任领导职务的女性、离开学术医学领域的人员流失、男女薪酬不平衡、两性之间可能存在的偏见以及文化变革的必要性。我们认为这是一个极其重要的问题，我们都需要予以关注，并希望这样的文章将有助于开启一场关于学术医学中性别问题的关键对话。
