Overview

Review study highlights the overrepresentation of female doctors in gynecology, suggesting need for mentorship and policy changes.

Key Points

  • Cultural expectations drive female medical students towards gynecology over critical specialties like surgery and urology.
  • A mixed-methods approach combined surveys and trend analysis in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa hospitals for insights.
  • Policy recommendations include targeted scholarships and awareness campaigns to encourage specialization diversification.
