چکیده

Representation and progression among women with advanced degrees in science and medicine have significantly improved over the past 50 years. A recent report from the Association of American Medical Colleges indicates that despite women being in the minority, the number of female division/section chiefs, department chairs, and deans has increased overall by more than 50% in the past 10 years (https://www.aamc.org/members/gwims/statistics/; accessed April 2, 2012).
