A survey of two cohorts of women who graduated from a Canadian medical school

Abstract

The careers of 71 women who graduated in medicine from the University of Western Ontario between 1961 and 1970 are compared with those of 84 women who graduated from the same university between 1924 and 1958. In both cohorts approximately 65% were working full time. Fewer members of the 1961-70 cohort were doing no medical work and more were working part time.
