Women in U.S. Academic Medicine Statistics and Medical School Benchmarking 2006-2007

 

Women in U.S. Academic Medicine, Statistics and Benchmarking Report, 2006-07 (PDF, 2 pages)

Previous years

The Women in U.S. Academic Medicine Statistics and Medical School Benchmarking, 2006-07, provides an overview of gender differences among students, residents, and faculty. Responses to an annual survey were provided by Women Liaison Officers, Faculty Roster Representatives, and Faculty Affairs Representatives from 109 of 125 medical schools. Additional data to supplement incomplete responses was gathered from various sources across the AAMC, including the Student Records System, GME Track, Faculty Roster, and Directory of American Medical Education.

The tables and figures listed below 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. On the right side bar, you will find a brief summary, available as a downloadable PDF, which incorporates short analyses of each of the benchmarking tables and charts.
