This article verifies if the increase in the percentage of women in the medical profession led to the convergence of male and female physicians' hours of work as well as income. Active physicians in Quebec in 1978 were compared to the ones in 1988. Data were obtained from the computerized files of the Quebec Corporation of Physicians and the Régie d'assurance-maladie du Quebec. Despite the increasing representation of women in the medical profession, gender differences in hours worked and income remained. However, results also showed a tendency toward a convergence in total hours of work, more behavioral variation among women physicians and some behavioral change among men. The experience of the past should thus not be used as the basis for projections of future physician productivity or for medical manpower planning purposes without a careful analysis of trends in behavioral changes.
本文验证了医学行业中女性比例的增加是否导致了男女医生工作时长以及收入的趋同。将1978年魁北克省在职医生与1988年的进行了比较。数据取自魁北克医师协会和魁北克医疗保险局的计算机文件。尽管医学行业中女性的占比在增加，但工作时长和收入方面的性别差异依然存在。然而，结果也显示出总工作时长有趋同的趋势，女医生的行为差异更大，男医生也有一些行为变化。因此，在没有仔细分析行为变化趋势的情况下，不应将过去的经验作为预测未来医生生产力或用于医疗人力规划的依据。
