The role of gender bias in patient ratings of minimally invasive gynecologic surgeons

Gender disparities are known to occur within academic and healthcare systems. Wage gaps and under representation in leadership positions have been reported to be more of a reality for female surgeons than their male colleagues. Moreover, a recent study noted that patients' implicit bias of provider gender may impact how they rate their surgeon. Our study attempts to further investigate and explore the role of gender bias amongst patient ratings in surgeons trained in minimally invasive gynecologic surgery.
