Sex and gender specific health topics in medical student learners: pulse check eight years later.

ABSTRACT:

Background

An essential component of patient-centered, individualized medicine is considering how sex and gender affect mechanisms of health and disease.

Objectives

To assess medical students' current knowledge of sex and gender specific health (SGSH) concepts compared to results from the same survey in 2012 to better inform development of curricular materials for medical education.

Methods

A previously designed survey tool, which assessed current knowledge of sex and gender-based medicine of medical students, was emailed to all Mayo Clinic Alix School of Medicine (MCASOM) students on Minnesota, Arizona, and Florida campuses in 2020. Descriptive and qualitative thematic results were compared to the same survey administered in 2012 to students enrolled in MCASOM. Chang
