Male and female physicians: Family and career comparisons

Differences in practice and personal profiles between male and female ophthalmologists

“…Gender differences in part‐time preferences, hours worked and income were identified by this survey. This is comparable to several similar studies in other specialties including gastrenterology, 3 general practitioners, 4 physicians 5,6 and surgical specialties 7–9 . All found that women have a greater preference for part‐time employment, work fewer hours and earn less even when adjusted for the hours worked per week.…”

“…Male ophthalmologists are more likely to be married, and to have children than their female counterparts. This has been noted in other countries and in other specialties 3,5,9 . The marital status of female ophthalmologists is comparable to those reported for female physicians and surgeons; however, female ophthalmologists have also reported to be more likely to have children than their female surgical collegues 13 .…”

The Evolution of Gender and Motherhood in Contemporary Medicine

“…Thus, between 1990 and 2000, the earnings of physician mothers did not keep pace with the earnings of other female physicians. While these results differ from those reported by Sasser (2002), 5 my findings are broadly consistent with those reported by Uhlenberg and Cooney (1990) with respect to working and nonworking physicians in the 1980 census. These authors find that the median income of married mothers aged forty to fifty was 98 percent of the median income of married nonmothers.…”

The generation and gender shifts in medicine: an exploratory survey of internal medicine physicians

“…For example, in 1981 women represented 13% of Canadian practicing physicians [ 14 ], and by 2005, they represented 31.3% [ 15 ]. These numbers are comparable to those reported for the United States [ 16 ] and several European countries, such as the Netherlands [ 17 ], the United Kingdom [ 18 ] and the Nordic countries [ 19 ]. Researchers have referred to the growing representation of female doctors as the "feminization of medicine" [ 4 ], and are asking how this demographic trend will affect patient care, health care systems and physician careers.…”
