BACKGROUND
Historically, medical research has, outside of reproductive health, neglected the health needs of women. Medical studies have previously excluded female participants, meaning research data have been collected from males and generalized to females. Knowledge gained from research is translated to clinical education and patient care, and female exclusion may result in gaps in the medical school curricula and textbooks.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
This study involved a desktop review of the the online publicly available Australian medical school course outlines, and finally, an analysis of the recommended textbooks.
RESULTS
There is no fixed or explicit requirement to include women's health in Australian medical school curricula. Medical school course outlines do not adequately include women's health; similarly, clinical medicine textbooks do not account for sex and gender differences.
CONCLUSION
Important sex and gender differences in medicine are not reflected adequately in the medical school course outlines, curricula, or clinical textbooks. This may have significant consequences on women's health.
背景
从历史上看，除生殖健康领域外，医学研究一直忽视女性的健康需求。以往的医学研究将女性参与者排除在外，这意味着研究数据是从男性身上收集的，并推广到女性身上。从研究中获得的知识被转化为临床教育和患者护理，而女性被排除在外可能导致医学院课程和教科书中出现空白。
材料与方法
本研究包括对澳大利亚医学院在线公开课程大纲进行桌面审查，最后对推荐教材进行分析。
结果
澳大利亚医学院课程中没有关于纳入女性健康内容的固定或明确要求。医学院课程大纲没有充分涵盖女性健康；同样，临床医学教科书也没有考虑到性别差异。
结论
医学中重要的性别差异在医学院课程大纲、课程设置或临床教科书中没有得到充分体现。这可能会对女性健康产生重大影响。
