• W1971842020 abstract "It is imperative that we further increase the number of female trainees in gastroenterology in order to allow women the opportunity to choose a gastroenterologist who optimizes their comfort level and patient satisfaction.The one-size-fits-all model of health care in which we have been operating has led to significant disparities in care between men and women for many conditions, such as cardiovascular disease, pain management, HIV care, and cancer screening. Yet, as it pertains to several aspects of their lives, such as education, career choices, marital decisions, family/children, and even choice of a health care provider, women have more options now than they did even 20 years ago. Currently, with more women practicing traditionally male-dominated medical specialties, these expanded options now exist in the primary-care as well as the subspecialty setting. Throughout the world, the number of female gastroenterologists is increasing. Consequently, patients may make different health care decisions. It is imperative that we further increase the number of female trainees in gastroenterology in order to allow women the opportunity to choose a gastroenterologist who optimizes their comfort level and patient satisfaction.

Kim J.H. et al.Link between preference for women colonoscopists and social status in Korean women.Gastrointest Endosc. 2008; 67: 273-277Abstract Full Text Full Text PDF PubMed Scopus (16) Google Scholar The average age of women who preferred a male colonoscopist (13.4%) was 47 years. Furthermore, these women tended to be married, unemployed, and less educated than the women who preferred a female colonoscopist. In contrast, studies from the United States rarely report a preference for a male colonoscopist. This may reflect the generational and cultural differences that exist among women as they pertain to perceptions about male and female providers. While female gastroenterologists are becoming more prevalent in Korea and in many other parts of the world, older women may perceive men as having greater technical expertise as well as experience. However, in a British study by Shah and Ogden,7Shah R.

Patient preference for genders of health professionals.Soc Sci Med. 1997; 44: 1531-1540Crossref PubMed Scopus (152) Google Scholar Commonly, female health care providers are perceived to have better communication skills. However, within a range of health professions, only a minority of patients preferred a health care provider of a particular gender.8Kerssens J.J. Bensing J.M. Andela M.G.

Women are different from men.Gastrointest Endosc. 2002; 56: 308-309Abstract Full Text Full Text PDF PubMed Scopus (9) Google Scholar In many societies, women are nurtured from a very young age to exhibit modesty, particularly as it pertains to the breasts and pelvic organs. Thus, we should address in our conversations with patients, as well as in educational materials, issues on respect and preservation of dignity as they pertain to colonoscopy. Many of the previous studies have queried patients on gender preference for a colonoscopist in the primary care setting, in which many of the subjects are asymptomatic and colonoscopy may be less urgent. It is important to note that although the women in the study by Lee et al1Lee S.Y. Yu S.K. Kim J.H. et al.Link between preference for women colonoscopists and social status in Korean women.Gastrointest Endosc. 2008; 67: 273-277Abstract Full Text Full Text PDF PubMed Scopus (16) Google Scholar were recruited from a digestive disease center, presumptively for GI symptoms, a gender preference was also identified in young women. This study reflects the diversity of gender preference among Korean women based on age, education, employment, and marital status. Realizing that one size does not fit all, additional factors are likely to impact gender preference in Western cultures, and we must continue to study and address them accordingly. We know that, in order to improve compliance with screening colonoscopy, it is imperative that we further increase the number of female trainees in gastroenterology to allow women the opportunity to choose a gastroenterologist who optimizes their comfort level and patient satisfaction. As such, we have to continue the progress that the GI societies have made with regard to increasing the number of female gastroenterology trainees through mentorship, programming, and addressing work/family/life issues. Additionally, we must work to change perceptions that prohibit all patients from accessing the care that they need through patient education and physician training in gender-based medicine. Fortunately, women have greater options in the choice of a gastroenterologist. However, we should not allow perception or misperception to hinder our ability as gastroenterologists to provide CRC screening as well as diagnostic colonoscopy to all eligible women in a timely fashion.
