Table 5 Student Feedback on Sex and Gender Specific Health

Current knowledge

 I did not realize there were so many differences between the sexes until taking this survey. I definitely think we should be taught this throughout our medical education

 I pretty much had no idea what the answer was to any of these. That said, I haven’t even taken many of these courses and didn’t know what most of these conditions were or if a professor would have stressed sex differences in the manifestation or management of those conditions

 Many of these questions I had to make an educated guess on—would be better if more of these differences (or lack thereof) were actively taught in medical school

Suggestions for improvement

 All lectures should include differences in presentation, management and diagnosis between men and women; it should be part of the basic lecture when learning about any disease in the first two years of medical school

 More OSCE (Objective Structured Clinical Experience) practice would be very helpful

 Please make it as longitudinal as possible

 We need more scientific information about how diseases/drugs/interventions differ between xx and xy patients
