RESEARCH ABSTRACT

Patient Perception of Emergency Physicians: The Gender Gap Still Exists
J Emerg Med. 2006 Nov;31(4):361-4.
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/17046474

We examined the ability of emergency department patients to recognize male and female physicians as their doctor. A convenience sample of adult patients seen in the emergency department were asked by a trained observer minutes following the first physician contact whether they had been seen by a physician. Female physicians were significantly less likely than males to be recognized as physicians. Further research is ongoing to identify factors and interventions that may be helpful in rectifying this discrepancy.
