Forum Gender in Medicine
The forum Gender in Medicine ("Gender in der Medizin") of the Heinrich-Heine-University Düsseldorf has been held once a year since 2008 by the Equal Opportunity Officers of the Faculty of Medicine.
The contributions of the forum are interdisciplinary and lie in terms of content at the interface between biological sex (sex) and the gender role (gender). They approach the topic of gender from different directions and are equally interesting for professional audiences and interested citizens. The event is free of charge.
The next Gender in Medicine Forum will take place on 25 June 2025 at 19:00 in the Haus der Universität (“University House”) and online and will focus on the topic:
AI in gender medicine: (not) a vision of the future?
The contributions to the "Gender in Medicine" forum approach the topic of gender from different angles and are of equal interest to experts and interested members of the public. This year's forum is all about raising awareness of gender-specific differences in drug therapy. This must be gender-appropriate - only the right dosage leads to better individual health for men and women.
