Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Purpose: To examine how efforts and policies to increase diversity affect the relative representation of women and of minority groups within medicine and related science fields. Method: The authors of this report used data from the Current Population Survey March Supplement (a product of the U.S. Census Bureau and the Bureau of Labor Statistics that tracks race, ethnicity, and employment) to compute the representation ratios of persons employed in biology, chemistry, and medicine from 1968 to 2009 (inclusive). They derived the representation ratios by computing the ratio of the conditional probability that a member of a given group is employed in a specific skilled science field to the overall probability of employment in that field. Their analysis tested for differences in representation ratios among racial, gender, and ethnic groups and across time among those employed as biologists, chemists, and medical doctors. Results: Representation ratios rose for white females, whose percentage increase in medicine was larger than for any other racial/ethnic group. The representation ratios fell for Hispanics in biology, chemistry, and medicine. The representation ratio rose for African Americans, whose highest percentage increase occurred in biology. Asian Americans, who had the highest representation ratios in all three disciplines, saw a decline in their relative representation in medicine. Conclusions: The authors have demonstrated that all groups do not benefit equally from diversity initiatives and that competition across related fields can confound efforts to increase diversity in medicine.
Download or read book Medical Careers and Feminist Agendas written by Elianne Riska and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-07-05 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The increasing proportion of women in the medical profession has been followed keenly both by conservative and feminist observers during the past three decades. Statistics both in Europe and in the United States tend to confirm that women work mainly in niches of the health care system or medical specialties characterized by relatively low earnings or prestige. The segregation of medical work has become increasingly recognized as a sign of inequality between female and male members of the medical profession.Medicine as a social organization is not a universal structure: Health care systems vary in the extent to which physicians work in the private or public sector and in the extent to which they have as a corporate body been able to influence their numbers and the character of their work. The aim of this book is not only to review and to provide an account of women's position in medicine but also to provide an analytical framework. The text revolves around three key issues that illuminate this argument: numbers, medical practice, and feminist agendas of women physicians. The issues are addressed in all the chapters but highlighted as central analytical themes in a cross-cultural context.Challenging previous studies of the medical profession, which have assumed for the most part a gender-neutral stance, Riska's text provides a unique focus. Medical Careers and Feminist Agendas presents a comprehensive, cross-national analysis of the current status of women in three societies where the economics of medical practice vary considerably: a market society, a welfare state, and a formerly communist society in transition. Aimed at a wide audience, this book will be useful for years to come in medical sociology, the sociology of professions, and women's studies. Its historical breadth, current data, and trenchant probing will furnish practitioners and policy-makers alike with a needed analytical tool.

Download or read book Women in Biomedical Research written by and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This NIH conference proceedings compiled by former WUMS student Dr. Barbara Alving highlights best practices for recruiting and retaining women scientists, geared to overcoming leaks in the career pipeline due to "unintentional biases, outdated institutional policies and structures." Duke Dean Nancy Andrews cites the need for women in science to have a safe way to speak out about their stories and be heard, as well as good practices beginning with institutional equity checks. WUMS's own Tim Ley sees women's attrition reflecting a career path created by men, for men, calling for a dramatic change in the culture of academic medicine. Phoebe Leboy (AWIS) also underscores unsupportive institutional cultures, structures, practices, and viewpoints. Best practices include making a business case for recruitment and retention of talent, need for commitment at the top, meaningful incentives, and accountability. Institutions can't just expect faculty to obtain grants, conduct research, and publish results, but must provide fair access to protected time and laboratory resources, for example bridge funding between grants. Jeremy Berg of NIGMS urges data to convince both skeptics and leadership, and pushes for decisive actions rather than just more and more studies. The book has a helpful bibliography and identifies key contacts on women's issues.
