Abstract
Women in medicine have historically been outnumbered by men, with women composing only 6.9% of medical school graduates in 1965. The number of women applicants has increased steadily to 50.8% of American medical school applicants in 2003 to 2004. Concomitantly, women composed 48.3% of all American medical school graduates in 2010.1Keywords
