[Gender in medicine: what contribution to medical practice? Eight selected narratives]

In this article, we report abstracts of eight interviews, showing how clinicians use their interest in gender in their everyday practice. Clinicians report that being acquainted with a person interested by the question of gender raises their own awareness about the subject. In practice, they notice biased acquisition of knowledge due to non-inclusion of gender in research on one hand, and influence of gender stereotypes on clinical care on the other hand. Gender also influenced carriers. Some interviewed clinicians expressed they wished for more training, to reduce inequalities attributable to gender.
