The article by Weiss et al. (2023) was truly enlightening and thought-provoking. It sparked a significant reflection, prompting an exploration of the frameworks shaping the careers of female neurosurgeons in Italy in comparison to the broader European landscape. As the authors point out, the number of women in medicine has been steadily increasing. Italy is no exception to this trend, with Primary Medical and Surgical Qualifications degrees (MBBS) now consisting of 60% women ( Women in Surgery, 2018).

Abstract
The article by Weiss et al. (2023) was truly enlightening and thought-provoking. It sparked a significant reflection, prompting an exploration of the frameworks shaping the careers of female neurosurgeons in Italy in comparison to the broader European landscape. As the authors point out, the number of women in medicine has been steadily increasing. Italy is no exception to this trend, with Primary Medical and Surgical Qualifications degrees (MBBS) now consisting of 60% women ( Women in Surgery, 2018). Despite this progression, the proportion of female medical students pursuing surgical careers hasn't aligned accordingly.File in questo prodotto:
