Comparison of employment stutus of women medical graduates and women science graduates, University of Sheffield, 1960-65.

It appears from this survey that the employment prospects of women in medicine are not as gloomy as might be imagined. However, they may be employed in posts underusing their talents and should be encouraged at medical school to consider medicine as a meaningful career. Women science graduates appear to fare badly in the employment field compared to women doctors and are employed, very of ten, in jobs unconnected with their qualifications. An advisory service for women science students is recommended.
