That would depend where we work. I work in a hospital where 7 out of 9 
OB's are female as are all our CNM's.Three out of our 4 pediatric 
hospitalists are women and in the immediate surrounding community,better 
than 50% of the pediatricians are female as well.

In fact, our hospital has a large percentage of women physicians anyway. I 
think if you look at the numbers (and I am sure one of you may do so), 
women make up a large percentage of the physician populations in a lot of 
geographical areas.

So, I am thinking that while in the past, medicine was dominated largely 
by men, I don't perceive that to be the case now.
