In 1983, the AAMC first published the report Women in Medicine Statistics. It captured a national snapshot of the distribution of women students, residents, faculty, and administrative leaders. With the initiative of the AAMC Increasing Women's Leadership Committee, the 1998 report expanded to include benchmarking data on women's representation in medical schools and improved the process of verifying changes from year to year.

This year's report, Women in U.S. Academic Medicine: Statistics and Medical School Benchmarking, includes preliminary information on how medical schools describe part time appointments and comparative information describing institutional support of Women in Medicine programs. The survey results continue to affirm observations of the AAMC Increasing Women's Leadership Committee (1998-2003) about the paucity of women in leadership positions at many schools and the need to implement new strategies for recruiting and preparing women leaders.

The full report is available purchase from AAMC Publications. The interpretive summary is also available (PDF - 35KB). Tables may be downloaded in either .pdf or Excel as indicated from the list below.
