    As stated by Paul Starr, “From the Jacksonian period through the end of the nineteenth century, a medical career did not carry the prestige and guaranteed security it does now” (82). Nonetheless, throughout history we have seen the shift, now more and more students are aspiring to become doctors. Those pursuing such occupation view that profession not as a symbol of prestige and wealth, but also as a way to give back and help those in need. Howard S. Becker and Blanche Geer, in The Fate Of Idealism in Medical School, describe the kind of idealism that characterizes the medical freshmen students, to examine their development over the four years of medical training. With that in mind, Becker and Geer (2010) state, “The medical students enter…

    We are sex segregated into jobs from childhood to adulthood because at an early age we are encouraged by other people to choose a career that we can do. For example, when I was younger people would ask me what I wanted to be when I was older and I would always say a doctor. Their response would always be the similar “well that’s going to be quite the challenge.” I never knew if that was because it would be a lot of schooling and a lot of work or if it was because there wasn’t a lot of women in this profession. According to the reading “Women were 6 percent of those getting MDs in 1960, 23 percent in 1980, 43 percent in 2000, and 49 percent in 2007 (Paula England 346).…

The reason why I believe Elizabeth Blackwell is so inspirational is because she was the first woman to every graduate medical school, and receive her M.D. in America. Truly, this act of courage has paved the way for many more women to become doctors in America. In truth, I did not just choose a random woman from history for this essay.…

    I remember the question from my kindergarten class like it was yesterday, “what do you want to be when you grow up?” Of course at the time, I wanted to be a princess, vet, rock star, teacher, or doctor. I’d stand up, proud with a smile on my face, and rattle off the list. Looking back on that moment in time, I would’ve never guessed what my dream was going to be. I was always the kid looking to help others, go the extra mile, make adjustments, and put a smile on your face.…

    Female MDs have a low implicit race compared to males (Sabin 2009). The study performed by the medical doctors of Johns Hopkins University suggests that overall, female physicians are preferred over male physicians. To explain this, they came to the conclusion that female physicians are preferred over male physicians because they resemble the social qualities of a typical female. The doctors continue to say that the females have a more collaborative relationship with their patients, spend more time with their patients, and discuss social issues with their patients. Though this is true female physicians are known to more willingly prescribe pain medication for a White American Patient, but not a Black American patient (Sabin 2009).…
