Though other forms of sexism may exist, most documented incidents and biases are directed toward women.Cite error: A <ref> tag is missing the closing </ref> (see the help page). Medical sexism is evidenced by the way women are treated differently than men, assualted, and provided medical treatments.

Female patients

Female patients are often treated differently than men. Historically, women's health has been called "bikini medicine". In addition some physicians assume that women should be assessed and receive identical treatments. Narratives include the reporting that womens' complaints may be assumed to be invalid and they subsequently are referred to psychiatrists for treatment. The report of medical concerns by women are more likely to be discounted, misdiagnosed, ignored and assumed to be psychosomatic.

Female clinicians have experienced s.exual assault

Studies indicate a systematic bias that has resulted in relatively fewer appointments to academic chairs
