I'm afraid I don't have the full references handy, but here
are a couple of things to follow up on for examples:
In the late 1980's-early 90's a female med student at
Georgetown Univ. (Washington DC) filed a lawsuit against the medical school
for refusing to allow her to do the urology/proctology clinical residency
component. The reason was that male patients would be uncomfortable w/ a
female physician, but male students were of course allowed to participate in
gynaecology exams.
There is an article in the Canadian Medical Assn Journal
from around 1995-97 (?) of a survey of how many female physicians report being
sexually harrassed by patients as well as colleagues.
good luck!

Subject: sexism
I am looking for articles dealing with sexism
within the medical profession. Can anybody think of any papers on this
issue offhand? I will do a
search, but I was
wondering if anybody remembered any good articles or
chapters.
Thanks,
Arleen Salles
