Some of Japan’s medical schools have been practicing silent sexism treatment, not to their patients or students but to their applicants. At least nine medical schools admitted that they treated female applicants unfairly at least for the last few years on the grounds that women are not tough enough to take on medical practices while they are good at face-to-face interview tests compared to men. If such practice is rationalized and actually have been implemented, those schools must have been discriminating female candidates much longer than just a few years they admitted.
Are female doctors treated fairly in hospitals? Aren’t female medical students discriminated? What about other medical schools that were not named this time?
While it is openly said more women are needed in the cabinet, diet, corporate boards and management, numbers clearly show that there is obviously a gender bias and gap even in education in Japan.
By the way, how was this gender discriminating conduct revealed?
Enjoy reading and learn how Japan’s medical schools treat women.
