Women in medicine have made significant strides over the years, increasingly entering various fields such as surgery, pediatrics, and psychiatry. Historically underrepresented, women now account for nearly half of all medical students in many countries, contributing to a more diverse healthcare workforce. Despite progress, challenges remain, including gender bias and disparities in leadership roles. Organizations like the American Medical Association and the World Health Organization are working to promote gender equity in medicine, aiming to support women in achieving leadership positions and ensuring equal opportunities in the medical profession.
