Women in Leadership Positions Within Obstetrics and Gynecology: Does the Past Explain the Present?

摘要

The discrepancy between the expected and actual numbers of women in leadership positions in business and government is well known. Currently, leadership within obstetrics and gynecology remains dominated by men despite changing demographics within medical school graduate populations. This study was performed to determine whether the proportion of leadership positions in obstetrics and gynecology that are held by women reflects the proportion of women who entered the field at the same time as current leaders.
