Report Finds Women Underrepresented At Academic Medicine’s Top

By

Education Management Solutions of Exton is reporting that although women make up about one-third of the full-time academic medicine workforce, they are underrepresented in key faculty and leadership positions.

EMS has online the Association of American Medical College’s biennial report, The State of Women in Academic Medicine: The Pipeline and Pathways to Leadership 2013–2014–you can find them both here.

According to the report, the number of women applying to medical school has increased, but their proportion of the applicant pool has decreased. Women make up 38 percent of the full-time academic medicine workforce, but only 21 percent of full professors and 15 percent of department chairs.  New hires of women faculty are up 4 percent, but departures are up 5 percent.
