The role of feminist theory in health professions education is often 'ova-looked'. Gender is one cause of healthcare inequalities within contemporary medicine. Shockingly, according to the World Health Organisation, no European member state has achieved full gender equity in regard to health outcomes. Further, contemporary curricula have not evolved to reflect the realities of a diverse society that remains riddled with inequity. This paper outlines the history of feminist theory, and applies it to health professions education research and teaching, in order to advocate for its continued relevance within contemporary healthcare.
女权主义理论在健康专业教育中的作用经常被“忽视”。性别是当代医学中医疗保健不平等的一个原因。令人震惊的是，根据世界卫生组织的统计，在健康结果方面，没有一个欧洲成员国实现了性别完全平等。此外，当代课程并没有发展到反映一个仍然存在不平等的多元化社会的现实。本文概述了女权主义理论的历史，并将其应用于健康专业教育的研究和教学，以倡导其在当代医疗保健中的持续相关性。
