本文报告了28名沙特女医生在沙特工作的经验。它展示了他们遇到的问题，其中许多问题是他们与其他地方的同行共同面对的。此外，他们还必须处理沙特社会特有的问题：承认男性优越感的宪法和法律制度，以及在生活的所有领域实行性别隔离。这种背景影响了她们的专业选择、与男同事一起工作以及晋升前景。许多人在工作中或在海外培训中遇到了被描述为西方文化的东西。他们重视这一点的许多方面，比如晋升是基于功绩的，但并不是所有人都预料到西方文化的这些方面会在自己的环境中盛行。尽管存在这些限制，年长的女医生取得了专业上的成功和满足感-而年轻的医生也期待着专业上的成功。(C)2004爱思唯尔有限公司。保留所有权利。
This paper reports on the experience of 28 Saudi women doctors working in Saudi Arabia. It demonstrates the problems they encountered, many of which they share with counterparts elsewhere. In addition, they have also had to deal with problems peculiar to Saudi society: a constitution and legal system that sanctions male superiority, and segregation of the sexes in all areas of life. This context affected their choice of specialty, their work alongside male colleagues, and their promotion prospects.Many had encountered what was described as a western culture at work, or in their overseas training. They valued many aspects of this, such as promotion being based on merit, but did not all expect these aspects of western culture to prevail within their own context.Despite the constraints, the older women doctors had achieved professional success and satisfaction-and the younger doctors expect professional success also.
