Men outnumber women three to one in some specialties

摘要

Men continue to outnumber women in most medical specialties, and in some of the largest specialties there are three times as many men as women. In cardiology, 82% of doctors are men. In gastroenterology and hepatology, 73% of doctors are men, and in respiratory medicine, 63% are. Overall, 58% of consultants and higher specialty trainees (years 3 to 8) are men, though in some large specialties there is a more even gender split. For instance, 51% of doctors in geriatric medicine are women.
