Gender Diversity and Inequality Diversity and Career in Medicine Sex and Gender in Healthcare

Abstract

More women will continue to move into positions of influence in the healthcare industry. This article discusses some of the research, including the author's own, related to differences in leadership between men and women. An executive response from a female chief executive officer affirms the research and offers additional insights from experience. The purpose of this scholar-practitioner dialogue is to assert that organizations which value the balance of unique behaviors and perspectives men and women bring to the healthcare environment and use the differences between them to good advantage are likely to provide a better quality of healthcare than those that are limited and exclusive in their use of human capital.
