But knowledge about the gender system and its structures of power is not sufficiently problematised when concerning the patient - doctor relation or in teaching about health and sickness. Difficulties with integrating a gender perspective are importantly connected to what is designated as the core curriculum of the medical education. The doctors’ attitudes towards a gender perspective and what is seen as »proper medical knowledge« become reproduced in the students. (Less)
