Women in medicine face barriers that hinder progress toward top leadership roles, and the industry remains plagued by the grand challenge of gender inequality. The purpose of this study was to explore how subtle and overt gender biases affect women physicians, physician leaders, researchers, and faculty working in academic health sciences environments and to further examine the association of these biases with workplace satisfaction. The study used a convergent mixed methods approach. Sampling from a list of medical schools in the United States, in conjunction with a list of each state's medical society, the authors analyzed the quantitative survey responses of 293 women in medicine. The authors conducted ordinary least squares multiple regression to assess the relationship of gender barriers on workplace satisfaction. Additionally, 132 of the 293 participants provided written open-ended responses that were explored using a qualitative content analysis methodology. The survey results showed that , , , and were associated with lower workplace satisfaction. The qualitative results provided illustrations of how participants experienced these biases. These results emphasize the obstacles that women face and highlight the detrimental nature of gender bias in medicine. The authors conclude by presenting concrete recommendations for managers endeavoring to improve the culture of gender equity and inclusivity.
医学领域的女性面临着阻碍其晋升至领导层的障碍，该行业仍然深受性别不平等这一重大挑战的困扰。本研究旨在探讨细微和明显的性别偏见如何影响在学术健康科学环境中工作的女性医生、医生领导者、研究人员和教师，并进一步研究这些偏见与工作场所满意度之间的关联。本研究采用了融合的混合方法。作者从美国医学院的名单中进行抽样，同时结合每个州医学协会的名单，分析了 293 名女性医生的定量调查回复。作者进行了普通最小二乘法多元回归，以评估性别障碍对工作场所满意度的关系。此外，293 名参与者中有 132 名提供了书面的开放式回复，使用定性内容分析方法进行了探讨。调查结果表明，职业性别隔离、缺乏支持性的领导、薪酬差距和缺乏职业发展机会与较低的工作场所满意度相关。定性结果说明了参与者是如何经历这些偏见的。这些结果强调了女性所面临的障碍，并突出了医学领域性别偏见的危害性。作者最后提出了具体的建议，供努力改善性别公平和包容性文化的管理者参考。
