WOMEN IN
MEDICINE

The State of

Women in Medicine

By Sean Price, Texas Medical Association

O nce a male-dominated field,

medicine is changing as women
make up a growing part of the
physician population. Women physicians
also are rising to leadership roles, and the
Texas Medical Association is dedicated to
helping them. TMA’s Fall Conference re-
cently featured an event on women in
medicine. For more information, visit
TMA’s Women in Medicine page,
www.texmed.org/WomeninMed/.
Below are some areas where women are
reaching equality with men in medicine —
and areas where there's still work to do.
