TY - JOUR PY - 2007// TI - Women in medicine − is there a problem? A literature review of the changing gender composition, structures and occupational cultures in medicine JO - Medical education A1 - Kilminster, Sue A1 - Downes, Julia A1 - Gough, Brendan A1 - Murdoch‐Eaton, Deborah A1 - Roberts, Trudie SP - 39 EP - 49 VL - 41 IS - 1 N2 - Background  Internationally, there are increasing numbers of women entering medicine. Although all countries have different health care systems and social contexts, all still show horizontal (women concentrated in certain areas of work) and vertical (women under represented at higher levels of the professions) segregation. There is much discussion and competing explanations about the implications of the increasing numbers of women in the medical profession.
