Description/Abstract	Gender bias is a problem within the medical field, even to the extent of affecting patients care. At the U of U Medical School in 2001 BYU graduates were involved in gender bias. The female medical students complained of sexist remarks towards their role as a Doctor. Studies have shown repeatedly that patients prefer a certain type of gender when choosing a physician (Adams 2003). Physician gender attributes also contribute to the type of care that patients perceive they will get (Marshall 2007). Also, the patients perceptions of the physician's ability determine whether they follow the physicians counsel or not(Bonds 2004). Other research has shown that there is a general bias in the medical field based on the gender of a chosen physician. (Taylor 1994) We hypothesize that BYU students have gender bias in the way they choose a physician and follow their counsel.
