Brain Injury with Tammy Kirkwood

Many would assume that gender equity in health has been achieved. But in subtle ways, medical research has a male bias that can leave women behind. Take my area of research as an example: traumatic brain injuries. Huge advances have been made in this field over the last few decades. We now know that for some, even seemingly minor hits to the head can have long-lasting effects, and we recognize the importance of proper recovery and rehabilitation. But we don’t fully know the differences of how women and men experience brain injury, and that has consequences for how women are diagnosed and treated.
