from the second link:
One of the steadiest movements has been the rise in women as a percentage of the physician workforce: It rose from 28.3% in 2007 to 36.3% last year, according to the AAMC’s Physician Specialty Data Reports from 2008 to 2020:
2007 — 28.3%
2010 — 30.4%
2013 — 32.6%
2015 — 34.0%
2017 — 35.2%
2019 — 36.3%
the above growth rates are not domination unless you're talking about women being dominant.
- Broken_Hippo 5y agoIt isn't female dominated, though: Only 36.3% of the workforce are women. I don't know how that is female dominated if 63.7% - nearly 2/3 - of doctors are male. Just because the percentage of women in the professioin is growing doesn't mean it is dominated by females. Compare this to teachers: 76% of teachers are female [1] Do you have some alternative version of "dominated" that I'm not privy to?
