Many medical institutions are making an effort to create "gender-fair" environments. Perceptions of the current state of the environment may have implications for progress toward this goal. We surveyed faculty, housestaff, and medical students at the University of Virginia School of Medicine (UVASOM) to determine their perceptions of the status of women at that institution. The results showed that women perceived their environment as significantly more inequitable and sexist than their male counterparts did. Women faculty perceived significantly more inequity and sexism than women housestaff or students. Comments from both women and men at UVASOM focused on the need to eliminate discrimination of all kinds and to recruit more women faculty as leaders, mentors, and role models. The UVASOM is now implementing recommendations that should significantly reduce the discrepancy in perceptions of its environment.
许多医疗机构都在努力营造“性别平等”的环境。对当前环境状况的认知可能会影响朝着这一目标前进的进程。我们对弗吉尼亚大学医学院（UVASOM）的教职员工、住院医师和医学生进行了调查，以确定他们对该机构女性地位的看法。结果显示，女性认为她们所处的环境比男性同行所认为的更加不公平和存在性别歧视。女性教职员工比女性住院医师或学生更明显地感受到不公平和性别歧视。UVASOM的女性和男性的评论都集中在需要消除各种歧视以及招聘更多女性教职员工担任领导者、导师和榜样。UVASOM现在正在实施一些建议，这些建议应该会显著减少对其环境认知上的差异。
