Research on women physician s career development in Japan

我们对日本的医学生及其家长进行了调查研究，以了解日本女医生的职业生涯。对刚进入医学院的男女医学生进行的关于女医师职业发展的态度调查显示，男女生之间存在明显的性别差异。约30%的男医学生对女医生的职业发展持否定态度。另一方面，大多数女医学生对此持肯定态度，但也对未来感到焦虑。在医学生家长会中，医学生母亲对女医师的职业发展最感兴趣。医学院校教师应认识到职业教育中存在的性别差异和偏见。我们需要解决性别差异和偏见，以实现男性和女性在未来的积极和共同参与医学。

About 30% of male medical students had negative opinion about women physician's career development raising child. On the other hand, most female medical students had positive opinion about that, but also had anxiety to future. Mothers of female medical students were most interested in women physician's career development among medical students parents' association. It is important for faculty members to recognize the existence of gender differences and bias for career education in medical school.
