In 2013-2014 academic year, females accounted for 21 percent of full professors — or those on the tenure track — at medical schools across the country, an increase of 7 percentage points over the past 10 years, according to STAT.
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.
