An article on baynews9.com Thursday evening stated that "Of the 113 future doctors who learned their residency assignments (from University of South Florida's medical school), 53 are men and 60 are women." (Future doctor gets perfect residency, perfect proposal; http://www.baynews9.com/content/36/2009/3/19/450489.html .) It gives one pause to think that the first U.S. woman doctor, Elizabeth Blackwell, graduated from Hobart College (Geneva, New York) in 1849. Now, over half the class at USF's medical school learning their residency are women.
What would be interesting would be to find out the national ratio of male/female ratio of doctors graduating from the nation's medical schools and what the male/female pay rate looks like. Women, on average, earn approximately 73 cents for a man's dollar in the United States.
Sounds like something for me to check into.
