Uniformed Services University Women's Enrollment and Career Choices in Military Medicine: A Retrospective Descriptive Analysis.

Conclusions: Women are making significant gains in enrollment at USU, obtaining board certification at similar, and in some cases, higher rates than their civilian peers, and practicing in diverse specialties. This study provides a descriptive picture of women's enrollment and practice characteristics from a military-based medical school. Future work could examine underlying factors that may influence their school choice, career experiences, and trajectories. Future research could also focus on women's experiences of mentoring and support to better understand these factors. PMID: 30295875 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
