(PDF, 2 pages)

Previous years

2004-2005

2003-2004

2002-2003

The overview and analysis of this year's Women in Medicine Statistics is newly formated into an Analysis in Brief that provides an overview and analysis of 2005-2006 data gathered from sources across the AAMC: the Student Records System, GME Track, the Faculty Roster, and the Directory of American Medical Education. It reports percentages of men and women in the pipeline of students and residents; examines gender disparities in areas such as faculty hires and promotions; and provides breakouts of the representations of men and women in leadership positions.

We encourage you to use this resource to educate faculty and staff, to strengthen your own professional development activities, and to compare local outcomes with national trends. You are welcome to use the figures on the Women in Medicine Web site for your own presentations. Just make sure that you use the proper citation as noted on each figure.
