Women in U.S. Academic Medicine Statistics and Medical School Benchmarking, 2007-2008
This report marks the 25th year that the AAMC has
surveyed the academic medicine community for representation of women at the accredited
U.S. medical schools. Each year, the Women Liaison Officers (WLOs), Faculty Roster
representatives, and Group on Faculty Affairs (GFA) representatives of each medical
school collect and verify survey data on gender distribution.
The 2007-2008 report includes data collected in a two-part survey:
1) gender distribution in U.S. medical schools; and 2) institutional resources
to support women faculty. This second part of the survey is a follow-up to the 2005
preliminary survey, which included comparative information on institutional support of WIM programs.
Of the 126 U.S. medical schools that were contacted, representatives from 106
of these schools completed both components of the survey for an 84 percent response rate.
Data that was not received from the medical schools was drawn from the AAMC Faculty
Roster and the AAMC 2007-2008 Directory of American Medical Education.
Tables
1-11 report percentages of men and women in the pipeline of students
and residents, examine gender differences in areas of faculty hire and promotion,
and provide breakouts of the representation of men and women in leadership positions.
Tables 12-13 report on the types of programs and resources available to women
faculty as well as the level of funding and support received.
