  16. YES Dermatology is Feminizing

  17. Good News or Bad News?

  18. A BRIGHT SIDE • & • A DARK SIDE

  19. THE BRIGHT SIDE

  20. Women Dermatologists are more tender

  21. 2. Women Dermatologists are More Talkative

  22. 3-Women Dermatologists are More Patient

  23. 4.Female patients Prefer To be Seen by Women Dermatologists* _____________________ *Unless it is something serious

  24. 5. Male Dermatologists Will Be Rare Experts

  25. The Other Side

  26. 1.Commitment To Family

  27. Marriage and having children: • Hinders women’s commitment to work • They have the reverse effect on men Heru,Pinc-collar medicine,Gender Issues, 2005

  28. Women Dermatologists Prefer Shorter Working Hours To Find More Time For The Family

  29. If they had to choose again, 31% of US women doctors might not choose medicine Frank, E., & Dingle, A.D. 1999.Am J Psychiat, 156(12): 1887-94.

  30. 2. Harassment 77 % of the female doctors in Canada Requests for genital examinations by patients who had no physical findings and displays of erections Phillips SP, Schneider MS. N Engl J Med 1993;329:1936-1939.

  31. 3.Andrology Patients Will Have Difficulties!

  32. 4. Other Concerns

  33. Professor Carole BlackHead of The Royal College of Physicians As medicine becomes increasingly perceived as the ‘work of women,’ it will be accordingly devalued: Look at nurses and teachers The Independent, Aug 2, 2004

  34. "The women admitted to medical school do well, they work well and they graduate well. The distinctions go to the women. But then, as the years go on, they start to make choices to balance their family and their lifestyle" • "In medicine, they choose to go into the specialties of dermatology, geriatrics and palliative care - not cardiology and gastroenterology where they are going to be required to work long hours"

  35. "If you can't make it possible for women to participate in everything - doing research, attending committees, influencing the Department of Health - the profession will lose its influence “ • “The issue is sensitive and I could raise it only because I’m a woman“

  36. How I See It

  37. Dermatology should be Separated from Andrology

  38. The Best Students Are Women + Their Choice Is Dermatology = The Scientific Standard of Dermatologists Will Rise

  39. If Women Dermatologists Became A Sweeping Majority, Treating Their Male Colleagues Will Be Or Like That ? Like This ?

  40. THANK YOU
