Optometric Education at the Southern College of Optometry: Is It Gender Biased?
Sparks, Bernard I.
The question of whether clinical faculty members at the Southern College of Optometry treat students differently on the basis of gender was investigated. Of the 21 full-time faculty members, 14 completed a survey using short scenarios to evaluate gender bias. Findings indicate that the respondents appeared to provide equal and unbiased treatment of students of both sexes. However, the conclusions are based on only 70% of the faculty and the data were collected with a survey that has not been scientifically validated as a reliable measure of gender-biased attitudes. The two versions of the survey, each consisting of three scenarios, are appended. (SW)
