Time: 7:30 - 8:30pm UK Time
Investigating Patient Outcomes
In the last decade, multiple studies have demonstrated patients have better outcomes when cared for by women (as opposed to men) physicians. Some are skeptical regarding these data; however, decades of research give us insights into how different practice patterns among female and male physicians may contribute to these differences in outcomes.
In this talk, we’ll review the current data on patient outcomes by physician sex and the potential reasons for these differences.
