Abstract
Welcoming diversity in plastic surgery
Highlights
Those of us with two X chromosomes in a surgical occupation are increasingly asked to speak on the topic of ‘women in surgery’ or ‘women in plastic surgery’
If we look at the field of law enforcement we know that if you live in a community that is predominantly black and from one ethnic group and the police force are most white and from a different ethnic group there are terrible problems with cultural misunderstandings, violence and disharmony
If we look at the statistics for Australia, around half the population is female and half is male, and over one third was born overseas.[3]
Summary
Those of us with two X chromosomes in a surgical occupation are increasingly asked to speak on the topic of ‘women in surgery’ or ‘women in plastic surgery’. Address: Department of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery Level 5, Flinders Medical Centre Flinders Drive Bedford Park, South Australia, 5042 AUSTRALIA You may say that healthcare is not the same but doctors have a need to engender trust.[2] Broad diversity among the surgical workforce is likely to provide a more open-minded service to the community.
