| Summary: | Despite the increasing number of women enrolling in the field of endoscopic gastroen-terology, gender stereotypes and workplace discrimination remain significant issues. Female endoscopists experience higher rates of musculoskeletal injuries and burnout. In this study, we highlight the need for improved training systems and supportive work environments and also the effects of gender concordance on patient satisfaction and outcomes. Furthermore, we recommend the establishment of policies to enhance gender diversity in healthcare. Addressing these challenges is essential to ensure that female gastroenterologists receive optimal training and opportunities, which are important to improve patient care. |
