Abstract
Lea Merone explored female patient representation in medical research, education and practice. She found that women are under-represented in some areas of health research and that fundamental differences between women and men are not adequately included in medical school curricula. Australian women with chronic conditions report feeling dismissed and disbelieved by their doctors. Lea is now advocating for clinical education to address these gaps.
