In this position paper, the American College of Physicians (ACP) examines the challenges women face in the U. S. health care system across their lifespans, including access to care; sex- and gender-specific health issues; variation in health outcomes compared with men; underrepresentation in research studies; and public policies that affect women, their families, and society.
