In this commentary, a female early-career academic physician reflects on her experiences with microinequities in the workplace. Using a recent publication describing the experience of midcareer academic women physicians as a launching point, the author discusses the experiences that early-career women in medicine commonly have. In training and early career, women are exposed to subtle barriers, aggressions, and inequities, which build over time. By midcareer, some women leave medicine or if they remain in medicine, they have likely not reached the salary or promotion levels of men. Ultimately, the author questions if trainees and early-career women in academic medicine are simply in a "preinvisible" phase of their careers. Ways to address the microinequities are offered.
在这篇评论中，一位从事医学专业的女性早期职业学者反思了她在工作场所中遇到的微观不平等现象。该作者以最近一篇描述中年学术女医生经历的出版物为起点，讨论了医学领域中女性早期职业者普遍经历的问题。在培训和早期职业生涯中，女性会逐渐面临微妙的障碍、侵犯和不平等现象。到了中年，一些女性离开医学领域，或者即使留在医学领域，她们的薪酬和晋升水平也可能不如男性。最终，作者质疑学术医学领域的受训者和早期职业女性是否只是处于职业生涯的“不可见”阶段。本文提供了一些解决微观不平等问题的方法。
