After half a century of constituting 5 percent of the physician population, women will soon make up more than one-third of U.S. physicians. Women now practice in virtually every specialty. This enormous change has created both opportunities and tensions. Within the broader context of the changing role of women in U.S. society, women physicians are exploring new career paths--paths that are both similar to and different from those of their male colleagues. A future challenge for women physicians will be achieving significant representation in the medical management ranks.
在占医生总数5%达半个世纪之后，女性很快将占到美国医生总数的三分之一以上。如今，女性几乎涉足各个医学专科领域。这一巨大变化既带来了机遇，也造成了紧张局面。在美国社会女性角色不断变化的大背景下，女医生们正在探索新的职业道路——这些道路与男同事的道路既有相似之处，也有不同之处。女医生未来面临的一个挑战将是在医疗管理岗位上获得显著的代表性。
