Gender bias has been a controversial issue in the medical field. It has been acknowledged that nursing is a female task and diagnosing and treating are male tasks, which has resulted in that the functional role of females in the medical field has long remained auxiliary. Flexner stated that, there is little interest among women in seeking a career in the medical field and not much demand for female physicians, supporting the assumption of the exclusion of female doctors (Flexner, 1910, as cited in Halperin et al., 2010). As a result of discrimination, the proportion of females among medical school graduates had declined to 2.9 percent by 1915 and it dropped to less than 10 percent by the 1970s (Barkin et al., 2010; Association of American Medical Colleges, 2019).
