“Gender and sex related differences are important to consider in treating the patient…It is important to teach this individualization of medicine to better meet the needs of our patients.” |

| “I do believe that gender and sex differences exist and are important. However, the extent of their effects on pharmacotherapy responses is not well known.

“I think there may also be social/cultural gender-based differences that could relate to the way patients therapies should be selected and the way should be counseled and communicated with.” |
