The concept of equity ensures that each individual is given the environment, treatment, and resources needed to reach an equal outcome to those around them. Equity is central to initiatives for advancing diversity and inclusion among physicians. This article will identify key barriers to equity that women surgeons face within the professional setting. More specifically, inadequate female representation, discrimination in the form of unconscious gender bias and microaggressions, and sexual harassment will be explored regarding their continued threats to gender equity, as well as constructive ways to mitigate these effects.
公平的概念确保每个人都能获得所需的环境、待遇和资源，以实现与周围人平等的结果。公平是促进医生群体多元化和包容性举措的核心。本文将识别女性外科医生在职业环境中面临的关键公平障碍。更具体地说，将探讨女性代表不足、无意识性别偏见和微侵犯形式的歧视以及性骚扰对性别公平持续构成的威胁，以及减轻这些影响的建设性方法。
