Hi all, do you feel like there is a disparity between Black women and men being hired in hc roles? I see a lot of Black women in nursing positions, more than Black men, but interested if that goes beyond caregiving roles.

I think it's because men are seen as less nurturing or caring than black women. It's just always been generally like that regardless of race.

I have not found this to be true per se. I have also seen more men who are physicians. I think in general there are a lot of women in the nursing field and that has to do with a lot of things. Interesting point to consider though.

Yeah i think Nursing historically has been female dominated so it might be just that.

I think nursing is suggested more as a career option to females than males. I'm approaching 50, so maybe that has changed. I do see some male nurses, but they are usually caucasian. I'm sure it may be different in more heavily populated AA places like Atlanta.

I agree with the other posters. I don’t think that that is as prevalent in other areas than it is here.

I think more black women are educated in the field vs black men so naturally we would see more women.
