The Dog Automaton has an interesting place discussing women in vet med –and why thither are so many. She notes that her civilise is but 12% manful, versus more of an fifty-fifty dispersion in med schools , and the late word of sex asymmetry in skill blogging . This is interesting to me, as my personal vet is manful, as are about all of the vets we cooperate with for our search. Of trend, the sexuality dispersion of veterinarians in academe may advantageously be more gender-balanced (or fifty-fifty male-skewed) than those presently in vet civilize or late gradatory.
DZ posits about potential reasons for this separate:
-Vet med is ofttimes seen as a caretaking professing, something that may appealingness powerfully to more women than men.
-Why vet med and not thrum med? One remainder is that vet med pays a lot less. Are women more liberal of low pay than men?
I institute a few articles on the sex differences; both indicate those factors as good as others. The 2003 Canadian clause muses that veterinarian music may turn more alike nursing–female-dominated and potentially lower-paying in the succeeding. Both credit approximately statistics, but cypher that appears as thoroughgoing as approximately of the AAAS women-in-science character of studies. Does the AVMA deliver a commission on women’s issues, or pay practically care to these reasons?
