Addressing gender equity and diversity in Canada's medical profession: A review
CMA
This review looks at the status of gender equity and diversity in the medical profession in Canada. Gender equity remains a pressing issue, with women continuing to face substantial differences in treatment, discrimination and harassment even though they are projected to represent half of the physician pool in the coming decades. Diversity within the profession is an associated issue that has received little attention to date.
