Unveiling Patient Perspectives: A Multinational Cross-Sectional Analysis of Patient Experiences Undergoing Cleft Care by All-Women Surgical Teams
Participation in the WIM program provided some patients with their first opportunity to experience receiving care from a woman. This exposure may influence their preference for a healthcare provider, which has been shown to enhance patient experience. Programs like this are imperative to increasing visibility of women in surgical and healthcare leadership roles, improving patient experience, and increasing access to care.
