TY - JOUR PY - 2008// TI - Gender bias in medical textbooks: examples from coronary heart disease, depression, alcohol abuse and pharmacology JO - Medical education A1 - Dijkstra, Anja F. A1 - Verdonk, Petra A1 - Lagro‐Janssen, Antoine L. M. SP - 1021 EP - 1028 VL - 42 IS - 10 N2 - Objectives This study aimed to review the availability and accessibility of gender-specific knowledge in current medical textbooks used in Dutch medical schools. Medicine has been criticised as being gender-biased by assuming male and female bodies to be generally the same. The authors wondered whether current nationally and internationally accepted medical textbooks reflect the state of the art on gender-specific knowledge.
