The proportion of female to male physicians in Sweden is 50 percent. However, there is still a classic gender bias, with female physicians still concentrated in relatively low-income and low-position positions, and few in surgery. Therefore, this study conducted a literature review with the aim of identifying the career barriers experienced by female physicians in Sweden, and to suggest the measures that may be needed in the future to overcome this inequality. Findings showed that at the beginning of medical school, there were no gender differences in students' future majors and working styles, but when clinical practice began at the start of their senior year, they had gender-biased experiences and female students avoided surgery. Once appointed to a post, gender disparity was evident in aspects such as workplace culture, wages, positions, social security, and health. That is, while an increase in the number of women is the basis for gaining representation in the overall workforce, this does not necessarily mean the elimination of gender discrimination. The key issue is to approach the culture of female exclusion itself, which is ultimately the barrier Sweden is hoping to overcome.
