FEMALE OB/GYN RESIDENTS,MORE THAN 50 PER CENT

F. OPTALMOLOGY 32 PER CENT

F. UROLOGY 12.6 PER CENT

F.ORTHPEDIC SURGERY 9 PER CENT

ACCORDING TO JAMA 2003:

FEMALE ANESTHESIOLOGY RESIDENTS WERE 27 PER CENT

F.RADIOLOGY 25 PER CENT

F.PATHOLOGY 49.4 PER CENT

THE MAIN REASONS OF THIS SURGE IN NEW WAVE OF FEMALE MD SPECIALIST WAS INTRODUCTION AND POPULARITY OF CONTRACEPTIONS IN 1970'S AND ALSO WOMEN LIBERATION AND FREEDOM MOVEMENTS.FOR EUROPEAN WOMEN WHO REACHED THESE FREEDOMS EARLIER,THE PERCENTAGE OF FEMALE SPECIALISTS PHYSICIAN WERE ALREADY HIGHER THAN US.
