Summary: The aim of this study was to analyze the opinions of female and male physicians on career-related aspects. Through an online survey, it was found that female physicians had lower career goals and primarily aimed to become senior physicians, while male physicians focused more on career development. Female physicians felt disadvantaged compared to male physicians in terms of equal treatment by superiors. Therefore, significant structural changes are needed to improve gender equality and provide predictable career paths for mid-level medical staff.
