The goal of this project is to interview at least a thousand top leaders in medicine around the world. Dr. Marshall Wolf, MD. We get around ten to twenty times worse rate of response from female physicians than from male physicians. From people of similar seniority, both in the United States and in Europe. I have one interview with female medical expert for every 50 interviews with male medical experts. But women make over 50% of people who view the videos. Women make a lot of very important health care decisions in a family. It is true around the world. I'm very much bothered by that ratio. I would certainly like to have a 50 / 50 ratio of interviews with female and male physicians. How to improve the positive response rate from the female physicians? Dr. Anton Titov, MD. How to improve a gender mix of interviews? Dr. Anton Titov, MD. So that gender of interviewees could be more balanced to that of people who view the videos. Dr. Marshall Wolf, MD. I have no idea why that is. I mean, that is interesting. My wife is a physician. I would've thought if you had asked her, she would be glad to give you an interview. It would've been much more interested than talking to me. I trained 400 - 500, maybe a 1,000 physicians. Perhaps it is more likely between 400 and 700 female physicians. Most of them would also be willing to speak to you. But I have no idea of why your response rate is off. Why it is different between males and females. I was puzzled, but it became a very apparent fact. I hear your comment and I accept your data. But I have no idea of why that should be. and I am surprised. Dr. Wolf, thank you very much for this conversation. I appreciate your time! It will be very interesting for viewers around the world. We hope to be able to come back to you, and perhaps to your wife, in the future. Thank you for training thousands of physicians and for being an inspiration for many thousands more! You are welcome, thank you for the interview! I get 10-20x worse rate of response from female physicians to talk about their research and clinical expertise vs. male doctors of the same seniority. Eminent physician and medical educator, Dr. Marshall Wolf, is equally puzzled.
