“…This survey also gave some indications of subtle forms of discrimination that women psychologists in medical schools experience. Not only do women spend more of their time at the less preferred job of psychodiagnosis, but they also are not consulted as frequently on an informal basis, which leads to the inference that their opinions are not esteemed as highly (Fabian, 1972).…”

There are indications that a similar situation exists in the medical schools. Despite the rapid expansion in the number of psychologists in medical schools between 1955 and 1964, it is possible that the status of women psychologists in that setting actually declined. During that period, there was a greater proportion of women in lower status positions, whereas the proportion of full-time, female PhD psychologists in medical schools was neither increasing along with the overall rapid expansion of full-time PhD psychologists in this setting, nor growing in line with the increase in the proportion of women receiving PhDs in psychology (Smith & Grant, 1959;Wagner, 1968;Wright, 1966).The main purpose of this article was to investigate the present status of women in medical schools with regard to their representation, productivity, rank, function, and salary. In addition, differences between men and women in terms of their professional satisfaction and perceived autonomy are considered.
