Dear MEL Topic Readers,
Japan medical schools 'rigged women's
results'
Some of Japan’s medical schools have been
practicing silent sexism treatment, not to their patients or students but to
their applicants. At least nine medical schools admitted that they treated female
applicants unfairly at least for the last few years on the grounds that women are
not tough enough to take on medical practices while they are good at
face-to-face interview tests compared to men. If such practice is rationalized
and actually have been implemented, those schools must have been discriminating
female candidates much longer than just a few years they admitted.
Are female doctors treated fairly in
hospitals? Aren’t female medical students discriminated? What about other medical
schools that were not named this time?
While it is openly said more women are needed
in the cabinet, diet, corporate boards and management, numbers clearly show
that there is obviously a gender bias and gap even in education in Japan.
By the way, how was this gender
discriminating conduct revealed?
Enjoy reading and learn how Japan’s medical
schools treat women.
