Despite approximately equal numbers of male and female medical school graduates, women are entering academic medicine at a lower rate than their male colleagues. Of those who do assume a faculty position, female faculty members report higher levels of burnout, often attributable to gender-specific difficulties in clinical expectations and maintenance of work-life balance. Many of these struggles are attributable to issues that are amenable to supportive policies, but these policies are inconsistent in their availability and practice. This commentary presents evidence for inconsistencies in the day-to-day experience of female faculty members, and proposes solutions for the mitigation of the challenges experienced more often by female faculty members with the goal of diversifying and strengthening academic medicine.
尽管医学院男女毕业生数量大致相等，但女性进入学术医学领域的比例低于男性同行。在那些担任教职的人中，女性教职员工报告的职业倦怠程度更高，这通常归因于临床期望和维持工作与生活平衡方面的性别特定困难。其中许多问题可归因于一些适合支持性政策解决的问题，但这些政策在可用性和实施方面并不一致。本评论阐述了女性教职员工日常经历中存在不一致情况的证据，并提出了解决方案，以缓解女性教职员工更常遇到的挑战，目标是使学术医学多元化并得到加强。
