Women have been progressively integrating medicine programs, with an average increase of 5.2% each decade in the past 30 years. Female physicians are already the majority among the age groups of up to 34 years (55.3%) and up to 29 years, representing 58.5% of undergraduates, according to the Federal Council of Medicine. This quantitative, qualitative and exploratory research, based on survey and analysis of secondary data, sought to highlight a temporal sample on the inclusion of women in the medical specialties of the Geral Roberto Santos Hospital’s (HGRS) Medical Residency Committee (Coreme). Despite an equanimous graduation education and a fixed average entry of female physicians (69.2%) into the HGRS residency, the number of female preceptors, supervisors and service coordinators related to the residency programs are much lower (40.5%,17.4% and 26.1%, respectively), hindering their carrier progression to decision and management roles. As for the Coreme coordination, there is no record of female physicians exercising this role. Discussing gender issues in medicine— a profession that emerged from male and patriarchal hegemony—within a hospital setting as a cultural phenomenon is complex and necessary. The study reflects on the development of management policies to include gender-based equity and social justice in medical residency, fostering equal rights and values in today’s society.
