Accounts of women from Asian ethnic backgrounds about their medical undergraduate experiences in the UK – an interpretative phenomenological study

These challenges have implications for career progression and contribute to broader inequities in medicine. We recommend medical schools consider including a curriculum to address these concerns as a priority in the early years of the medical degree.
