My Résumé
Women in medicine
It seems there are more men than women working as family doctors and pediatricians. That's the generation gap lagging behind the new reality. Now, I think the majority of people starting medical school for the past five years are primarily female. Our class was a 50-50 mix between males and females but some schools are approaching 60-40 for women.
When I got into Medicine, I had a lot of people asking me about how hard it was to be a woman in Medicine. I said, "My class is full of women. Now they're everywhere!"
