“…The full-time graduation structure complemented by extracurricular activities, both mandatory and voluntary, delays entry into the labor market and the construction of the nuclear family 13,15 . On the other hand, the absence of labor obligations before or during university attendance increases the importance of teaching and the effectiveness of learning to overcome the absence of such experience, to achieve success in various selection processes, and to competently respond to professional scientific technical requirements, to the social dimensions incorporated into the health-disease process and to the administrative and financial self-management 3,5,16,17 .…”

Knowledge of the profile and professional integration of new graduates enables adjustments in medical education. This study evaluated 107 graduates from a private institution in the Brazilian South region, using a self-administered electronic questionnaire. There were similar participation of young physicians of both genders and higher male concentration in general surgery. Graduates are inserted in the public and private labor market. Most do extra shifts in emergency services and trauma surgery, where there is greater need for clinical and surgical skills. These findings suggest that adequate surgical training during graduation is critical to employability. RESUMO O conhecimento do perfil e inserção profissional dos recém-formados possibilita ajustes na educação médica. Este estudo avaliou 107 egressos de instituição privada no sul do país, utilizando questionário eletrônico autoaplicável. Houve participação similar de jovens de ambos os sexos e maior concentração masculina na área de cirurgia geral. Os egressos estão inseridos no mercado de trabalho público e privado. A maioria faz plantões extras em serviços de emergência e cirurgia do trauma, onde há maior necessidade de habilidades clinicas e cirúrgica. Esses achados apontam que a formação cirúrgica adequada durante a graduação é fundamental para a empregabilidade.

“…Anthropologically, men had always been considered more capable of using tools and instruments of production, giving them domination over women. 4 In order to embark on a surgical career, it is necessary to be able to deal with situations of great severity, which fits a global tendency with respect to training of a new generation of surgeons: young people avid for challenging situations and a working environment in which they can express their convictions. 12,13 Socially, males are predisposed to and are accepted performing activities of leadership and combat and also activities that demand greater physical strength, which can be the case in the field of surgery.…”

“…Franco and Santos conducted a retrospective survey in 2010, 4 using data from the Brazilian College of Surgeons for 1950 to 2000, showing that there was a significant increase in the number of female surgeons in the 1980s and 1990s; but the female gender's share in the surgical specialties has still not kept pace with the general tendency of growth. 5 The authors identified factors that contribute to the small number of women in surgery, including difficulties to be overcome, a certain lack of self-confidence, and scarcity of models of successful women who can be used as references, in addition to problems caused by the absence of institutional support for physicians who are mothers.…”

Resumo Contexto O aumento da participação feminina no contingente médico brasileiro e mundial tem sido notório; entretanto, o número de mulheres cirurgiãs não acompanha a mesma tendência. Além da análise quantitativa, os fatores determinantes da escolha pela especialidade cirúrgica e as características da atuação profissional necessitam de mais estudos. Objetivos Delinear o perfil das cirurgiãs vasculares brasileiras no que diz respeito às características demográficas, grau de qualificação, engajamento científico e integração ao mercado de trabalho. Métodos Um questionário eletrônico foi disponibilizado on-line durante 30 dias e teve seu link amplamente divulgado entre cirurgiãs vasculares. Após coleta, retornaram 101 questionários válidos, cujos dados foram tabulados em planilhas do Microsoft Excel para análise descritiva simples. Resultados O perfil encontrado foi de mulheres com até 45 anos de idade que atuam na área por no máximo 10 anos. A formação foi predominantemente por meio de residência médica ou estágio reconhecido pela sociedade da especialidade. Cirurgia venosa, flebologia estética e ecografia vascular mostraram-se como principais campos de atuação para cirurgiãs vasculares. Apesar de possuírem titulação e publicações científicas, a sua representatividade nos cargos de liderança permanece baixa. Mais de 64% das participantes referiram sentimento de desvalorização profissional devido ao fato de serem mulheres. Conclusões Apesar das limitações da população estudada, este estudo preliminar corrobora com a ideia de que as cirurgiãs vasculares demonstram uma contínua dedicação à especialidade e abre um precedente para que novas pesquisas acessem os pormenores dessa atuação profissional, fomentando a discussão sobre as desigualdades entre os gêneros no exercício da medicina.

Women Surgeons in Brazil: A Time Trend Analysis by Specialties in the Last Decade

et al. 2022

Background In surgery, there is a gender worldwide gap. In Brazil, we still do not have studies that describe this scenario. Based on this lack of research, we aim to assess the prevalence of women in surgical specialties, how it has changed over the years and how long it will take to achieve an equal distribution of men and women surgeons in Brazil. Methods We conducted a retrospective review of the last five editions of the Brazilian Medical Demography (2011, 2013, 2015, 2018, and 2020). We analyzed the absolute and proportional (women/total) increase in women registered in 13 surgical specialties in Brazil. We performed a linear regression, and we estimated the expected year of equal distribution of women and men in each subspecialty, through the linear regression equation. ResultsIn absolute numbers of women, all surgical specialties presented a linear increase over the years (p\.05). In proportional numbers of women, however, 10 specialties showed a significant linear increase (p \.05) except cardiovascular surgery, hand surgery, and neurosurgery. According to the equation that predicts equal distribution, pediatric surgery will be the first one to achieve equal distribution, in 2026, and other specialties are far from achieving it. For example, Urology will not achieve equal distribution until 2433. Conclusions There are fewer women surgeons in Brazil than men. However, in general, there is an increase in women in the analyzed specialties over the years. With the proportional inclusion of women in the Brazilian surgical workforce, we hope that we can achieve sex equality in Brazil.
