Two hundred and ten (95%) second-year clinical students at the London Hospital Medical College answered a questionnaire before and after their 2-month attachment in obstetrics and gynaecology, in an attempt to measure their attitudes to women and the subject being studied. In only six of the thirty-two questions were there significant changes in the pre- and post-course responses, and these related to abortion, sterilization and obstetric practice. Students did not often answer 'don't know' to the questions, and the most striking finding was that the responses of male and female students differed, with statistical significance at the 1% level in twenty-six of the thirty-two questions. The male students were more likely to agree with statements which stereotyped women in a negative way and this suggests that, unless active steps are taken by medical teachers to help students to question their attitudes, women will continue to complain about the way they are treated by the medical profession, and women doctors will not fulfil their potential.
伦敦医院医学院的210名（95%）二年级临床学生在进行为期2个月的妇产科实习前后回答了一份问卷，旨在衡量他们对女性及所学科目的态度。在32个问题中，只有6个问题的课前和课后回答有显著变化，且这些问题与堕胎、绝育和产科实践有关。学生们对问题不常回答“不知道”，最显著的发现是男女生的回答存在差异，在32个问题中有26个问题的差异具有1%水平的统计学显著性。男生更倾向于认同以负面方式刻板描述女性的陈述，这表明，除非医学教师采取积极措施帮助学生审视自己的态度，否则女性将继续抱怨她们在医疗行业受到的对待方式，而女医生也无法发挥其潜力。
