The data is from the Association of American Medical Colleges’s recent report, “The State of Women in Academic Medicine: The Pipeline and Pathways to Leadership.”

According to Diana Lautenberger, director of women in medicine and science at AAMC, if one doesn’t become a professor, it’s less probable that he or she rise to department chair or dean.

Below is a list of the percentage of male and female professors at major U.S. medical schools.
