Female physicians were significantly more likely than male physicians (53.3% vs 33.6%) to have experienced at least one form of discrimination in the past year. These experiences included receiving pay or benefits that were not equivalent to peers at the same level; not being included in administrative decision making; being treated with disrespect by nursing or other support staff; or not being fairly considered for a promotion or senior management.[5] Women felt they were most often discriminated against by administrators/supervisors, followed by peers, nursing staff, patients, and other support staff. Compared with male physicians, female physicians were almost 5 times more likely to experience career advancement obstacles and more than 3 times more likely to experience disrespectful/punitive actions. Of note, almost 27% of males acknowledged that gender bias against females was at least “somewhat” significant.

http://annals.org/article.aspx?articleid=713512
Results: Female faculty were more than 2.5 times more likely than male faculty to perceive gender-based discrimination in the academic environment (P <Â 0.001). Among women, rates of reported discrimination ranged from 47% for the youngest faculty to 70% for the oldest faculty. Women who reported experiencing negative gender bias had similar productivity but lower career satisfaction scores than did other women (P <Â 0.001). About half of female faculty but few male faculty experienced some form of sexual harassment. These experiences were similarly prevalent across the institutions in the sample and in all regions of the United States.

http://journals.lww.com/academicmedicine/Abstract/2006/07000/Stories_from_the_Field__Students__Descriptions_of.11.aspx
Of the students’ responses, 290 (36.6%) contained 313 written descriptions of personal experiences that the students perceived as either discriminatory or harassing. Seven response categories were created on the basis of recurring themes: educational inequalities; stereotypical comments; sexual overtures; offensive, embarrassing, or sexually explicit comments; inappropriate touching; sexist remarks; and not classifiable. The most frequently reported experiences involved educational inequalities and were reported equally among men and women; all other categories of experiences were reported more frequently by women.
