User:Axolotl61/Gender discrimination in the medical profession

Assessment of the article:


 * The information that is included is accurate
 * Does a good job of looking at several steps to becoming a physician: medical school, training, and professional practice
 * Mentions gender discrimination in both female and male clinicians which is important to note because gender discrimination isn't always one sided
 * Male nurses are discriminated against also

Improvements for the page:


 * There is not a lot about race
 * Only one sentence about race
 * Should add statistics about the wage gap between black women and others
 * Needs more about how race intersects with gender among physicians


 * In section about women in leadership positions it only mentions cardiovascular medicine
 * We wonder if there are disparities in women leadership in other specialities in medicine


 * Look at how transgender physicians are discriminated against
 * There is no section on this

Why these changes are needed:


 * It is important to include racial bias and discrimination because it could potentially influence gender discrimination among physicians
 * It would be interesting to investigate discrimination of women in leadership in other medical specialities besides cardiovascular medicine to identify trends
 * Including transgender physicians expands the definition and understanding of gender discrimination in the medical profession.

Hello! I love how thoughtfully and thoroughly you've engaged here, including sources and everything. To be honest you can paste "improvements" "why" and "sources" as they stand into the talk page. What you would want to do though comment wise is contextualize and frame your comment, in terms of who you are and what our course is, as well as in terms of any existing comments on there already! thanks!!
