First hand knowledge here: part time female physicians are going to be the norm in the US. Already certain specialties, including my own, are suffering from the consequences. Judging by the balance of female enrollment in medical schools, there is no reversing this trend, except for male foreign medical graduates filling the gaps. So, say hello to Dr Muhammad.
And in my specialty ER, you now have a lot of married couples, and because of the income NEITHER one has to work a full schedule.
So we sterilize these women or do we lock them up when they want time off?
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?
