尽管性别平等仍然不存在，而且女性离开学术界的比例略高于男性，但学术界女性的人数稳步增加。作者调查的原因，为什么妇女离开职业生涯在学术medicine.Methodsemistructured，一对一的访谈进行了2007-2008年与20名女医生谁离开了一个单一的学术机构，探讨他们的原因选择退出学术生涯。数据分析是迭代的，和编辑分析风格被用来派生themes.ResultsA缺乏的角色模型相结合的职业和家庭责任，挫折与研究（资金困难，贫困的导师，竞争），工作与生活的平衡，和制度环境（描述为非协作和偏向于男性教师）出现的关键因素与决定离开学术医学的受访者。面对这些挑战，答复者重新评估了其优先事项，并得出结论认为，其自身的优先事项与机构的优先事项之间存在差异。许多受访者表达了不同的意见与机构规范如何衡量成功，因此，觉得他们被低估的工作。ConclusionsParticipants报告自己的优先事项和学术医学的主流文化之间的脱节。在学术医学中留住女教师的努力可能包括探索她们最重视的学术生涯的各个方面，并相应地提供支持和认可。
PurposeThe number of women in academic medicine has steadily increased, although gender parity still does not exist and women leave academics at somewhat higher rates than men. The authors investigated the reasons why women leave careers in academic medicine.MethodSemistructured, one-on-one interviews were conducted in 2007-2008 with 20 women physicians who had left a single academic institution to explore their reasons for opting out of academic careers. Data analysis was iterative, and an editing analysis style was used to derive themes.ResultsA lack of role models for combining career and family responsibilities, frustrations with research (funding difficulties, poor mentorship, competition), work-life balance, and the institutional environment (described as noncollaborative and biased in favor of male faculty) emerged as key factors associated with a decision to leave academic medicine for respondents. Faced with these challenges, respondents reevaluated their priorities and concluded that a discrepancy existed between their own and institutional priorities. Many respondents expressed divergent views with the institutional norms on how to measure success and, as a consequence, felt that they were undervalued at work.ConclusionsParticipants report a disconnection between their own priorities and those of the dominant culture in academic medicine. Efforts to retain women faculty in academic medicine may include exploring the aspects of an academic career that they value most and providing support and recognition accordingly.
