The role of female physicians has advanced among western medicine. Women now constitute a majority within medical schools, and the number of women in podiatric medicine and surgery has increased over the last 5 decades. Conversely, female physicians continue to face barriers to closing the gender gap. They have lower academic standings and fewer publications, receive less awards/grants, are underrepresented in leadership positions, have a lower incidence pursuing surgical specialties, and receive lower compensation. Women experience an increased rate of burnout, gender discrimination, and sexual harassment. Increasing awareness of the gender gap is vital to the enhancement of the medical community.
女性医生在西医领域的地位有所提升。如今，医学院校中女性占多数，并且在过去50年里，足病医学与外科领域的女性数量有所增加。相反，女性医生在缩小性别差距方面仍面临障碍。她们的学术地位较低，发表的论文较少，获得的奖项/资助较少，担任领导职务的人数不足，从事外科专业的比例较低，薪酬也较低。女性经历职业倦怠、性别歧视和性骚扰的比率更高。提高对性别差距的认识对于改善医学界至关重要。
