Answer 1

Answer:

Gender part is not included in prestigious structure of American Medicine. Because this can lead to despairity and gender segregation among the Society. There are mainly three reasons behind it mentioned below:

First is medicine is ‘gender blind’ by not considering gender whenever relevant.

Secondly, medicine is said to be ‘male biased’ because the largest body of knowledge on health and illness is about men and their health.

Thirdly, gender role ideology negatively influences treatment and health outcomes.

Gender segregation is also an established source of gender inequality, as it reinforces some of the gender stereotypes associated with men’s and women’s gender roles, working styles and competencies. Gender segregation also affects the educational choices of men and women and the type of specialties they choose during medical training.
