Gender Medicine focuses on the impact of sex and gender on normal human physiology, and the pathophysiology and clinical features of disease. Gender Medicine seeks to publish reports of original scientific investigations that use biological sex and/or gender as a significant variable in the experimental protocol.

The journal also encourages submission of brief reports, commentaries, and letters to the editor that address timely or proactive issues in gender-specific medicine, including cardiology, endocrinology, oncology, dermatology, public health policy, infection disease, geriatrics and aging, gastroenterology, and neurology.

Specialty Section

Gender Medicine features a specialty section, Society, Culture, and Health, focused on original reports from the entire spectrum of academic disciplines devoted to the study of the human condition as it relates to both biological sex and the broader concept of gender. One of the difficult tasks in gender medicine is to determine which phenomena are the results of biology and which are consequences of the environment. Therefore, the journal encourages scholars in disciplines such as psychology, anthropology, sociology, and other allied sciences to consider contributions to the journal.

Audience

The journal serves an international multidisciplinary audience in a mixture of academic and clinical practice settings.
