Women Doctors Slow to Grow in War Era Washington Letter

Douglas Larsen reports from Washington that despite wartime inroads by women in most professions, women doctors remain scarce due to long training, rising costs, and delayed earning potential. In 1941 and 1944 there were 1,146 and 1,476 women medical students respectively, with tuition up from 378 to 409 dollars by 1949. Net incomes of physicians in 1941 were low, with most earning under 4,000 dollars and few over 10,000. Women physicians are less likely to become specialists, though they favor pediatrics and psychiatry. The highest proportion of women doctors is in the West, lowest in the South.
