Sincere question: I am a woman over forty whose children are grown. I am applying to med school and seek a specialty that is NOT female-dominated. Any suggestions?

[cajungirl]

why does the sex matter in choosing a speciality? The ones with mostly women are low paying.

Uta, do you want the truth?

Non-female dominated specialties are generally surgical. And if you are over 40, let me tell you, you DON'T want to do a surgical residency.

Think 100 hour weeks.

Supposedly the laws have changed for max hour/week that residents can work, but I guarantee that they haven't (officially) for surgical residencies.

My advice is go dermatology. If the SHTF with Obamacare (and it will) you can go to an all-cash boutique/spa practice.
