Geschlechter- und Diskriminierungssensibilität in der ärztlichen Praxis

In this article definitions of and concepts behind sex/gender-sensitive medicine (SGSM) are introduced. We evaluate why sex/gender-sensitive research is essential and how it can be sustainably implemented and nurtured to build a basis for sex/gender-sensitive clinical care. Further, statistical and clinical realities of disabled patients and patients of color are depicted, to illustrate intersectional discrimination in medical care. Practical tools are shared to guide the reader into implementing actionable change within their own clinical practice to contribute to a less discriminating experience for vulnerable populations.
