The Royal College of Surgeons, psychologists from the University of Exeter, the Medical Women’s Federation and Scalpel have produced a video podcast designed to encourage women to embark on and succeed in a surgical career.
In the video, both female and male surgeons at all stages of their career share their views on what makes surgery an enjoyable and rewarding career. Recent evidence published in the RCS Bulletin shows that women who apply for surgical training are proportionately more likely to be appointed than men – however, surgery remains a predominately male profession.
