Abstract
The percentage of first-year medical students who are women has increased from 8% to 48% during the past 4 decades (1965-2008) and women now comprise approximately 50% of medical student graduates.1 Despite this trend, in 2007, women graduates submitted half as many applications (14% vs 33%) to surgical residencies as their male colleagues.2 The lower interest in surgical disciplines by women physicians is cause for concern and could reduce the number and quality of individuals pursuing a career in surgery.Keywords
