TI  - Gender-associated differences in matriculating and graduating medical students.
PG  - 552-9
AB  - Data from the 1993 Matriculating Student Questionnaire (MSQ) and the 1994 Medical 
      School Graduation Questionnaire (GQ) of the Association of American Medical 
      Colleges were investigated for differences in responses between men and women. 
      Notable differences were discovered, particularly with regard to career plans and 
      experiences during medical school. Findings from the GQ include that a higher 
      proportion of women rated curricular coverage of numerous subjects inadequate and 
      that women students more frequently reported mistreatment during medical school. 
      Women were also more likely than men to work in clinics serving the indigent and 
      to complete a primary care clerkship. Over 30% of the 1994 women seniors, 
      compared with 18% of the men, planned to pursue generalist careers. The authors 
      discuss the gender-associated differences, with reference to previous studies, 
      and conclude that medical educators should ensure that women have access to the 
      same skill-development opportunities that men do and to a humane learning 
      environment. Moreover, educators should examine what adaptations can encourage 
      students of both genders to develop an ethic of "social responsibility."
