Abstract:
Medicine is evolving with increasing feminization and the rise of part-time work. Women now outnumber men among graduates but are underrepresented in leadership roles and in the highest-paid specialties. To meet these economic and organisational challenges, this article proposes a number of courses of action. In addition to an overall increase in the number of medical training places to compensate for retirement and the development of interprofessional integrated care structures, support for academic promotion and management positions for women, as well as an increase in the financial value of professional and non-remunerated activities, are all solutions to be considered. These changes will ensure that medicine is inclusive, efficient and of high quality.
