Gender roles in health care

This is a topic very important. My experience in studying a career that mostly are women has not been easy, and that your activity main is the care of woman, because implies understand the other gender, is other fisiology that experiment processes that I can only imagine and that never I going to suffer.
Another important point is the laws and unions bit inclusive, for example the health code does not include accoucheur (matrón) within the articles 117 and 118 that explain what is the professional role. This makes it creates a sense of marginalization.
Another example is the Chilean College of Midwives, the first thing we see is that the guild name does not include the other gender (the school says that the name change is in the hands of the minister of economy), but still well within its requirements for schools requires the title of midwife (http://www.colegiodematronasdechile.cl/info.asp?Ob=3&Id=79) but what about the accoucheur?
This has led to a movement on Facebook by the feeling of marginalization, groups such as "Solo matrones" or "MatrÓnes of Chile" have noted this, pushing for are more inclusive our area with the 10% of professionals (the men).
In other career should happen something similar , for example nursing.
for this bicentennial I believe in laws more inclusive in everything that has to do with gender.

  1. Hi Alexis,

    In my opinion, the post could be:
    "This is a VERY IMPORTANT TOPIC. MY EXPERIENCE STUDYING THIS CARRER, THAT HAVE MORE WOMAN THAN MAN, HAS NOT BEEN. THE PRINCIPAL ACTIVITY AS MIDWIFE IS THE CARE OF THE WOMAN AND THE NEWBORN, AND THIS Implies understand the FEMALE gender, IT is other fisiology, OTHER processes, that I can NOT LIVE REALLY BECAUSE NEVER I AM going to suffer THIS.
    Another important point is the laws and unions. For example the health code does not include accoucheur (matrón) within the articles 117 and 118 that explain what the professional role IS. This makes it creates a sense of marginalization.
    Another example is the Chilean College of Midwives, the first thing we see is that the guild name does not include the other gender (the school says that the CHANGE OF THE GUILD NAME is in the MINISTER OF ECONOMY HANDS), but still well within its requirements for schools requires the title of midwife (http://www.colegiodematronasdechile.cl/info.asp?Ob=3&Id=79) but what about the accoucheur?..."
