Gender medicine represents an emerging and fundamental field in the study of health and disease. It is a scientific discipline that aims to ensure equitable and personalized health care by recognizing how biological sex (male and female) and gender (set of socially constructed roles, behaviors, and identities) significantly influence the onset, diagnosis, course, and response to treatment of disease.
Each individual responds differently to disease and treatment: biological sex and gender influence onset, diagnosis, therapeutic response, and clinical outcomes. These differences are particularly relevant in the field of care, where preventive, diagnostic, and therapeutic strategies must be increasingly personalized. Gender-based medicine is more precise, more just, and more appropriate medicine.
It represents a paradigm shift needed to respond with greater quality and respect to the people we care for every day.
To whom it is addressed
The invitation is addressed to all those who are involved in the care, diagnosis and taking care of the sick person, but also to anyone who is interested in an issue that is as important as it is destined to become increasingly crucial in health care.
Program
During the day, the foundations of gender medicine will be explored, with a focus on its ethical, social and clinical implications in health care practice.
Through interventions by professionals working in the fields of oncology, neurology, addiction, and rehabilitation, a cross-sectional overview of how sex and gender can influence disease onset, diagnostic pathway, and treatment choices will be offered.
This will be a useful time of discussion and reflection for those working in treatment and care, with an increasingly personalized, equitable, and sensitive view of individual differences.
