Beyond the Operating Room: The Reality of Gender Disparities in Neurosurgical Education Starting in Medical School
This study highlights gender-based differences in career planning, scientific and practical neurosurgery experiences, and mentoring opportunities during medical education. Initiatives such as congresses and mentoring programs could help address this imbalance by supporting female medical students from the early stages of their careers.
