Advancement of men and women in medical academia. A pilot study.

Academic promotion patterns were studied in the facilities of four US medical colleges. The average number of years for promotion to each professional rank in each college was consistently greater for women than for men. While the data themselves do not prove discrimination, they are consistent with the underuse of female physicians in medical academia, with the lack of improvement in their statistical representation over the past 15 years, and with the picture of women in higher education in general. This topic should receive more attention, and more complete data on the relative qualifications of male and female medical faculty should be obtained.

Hormone replacement therapy: decision making in an age of uncertainty.

The burgeoning epidemic of breast cancer has led to further scrutiny of the relationship between it and estrogen replacement therapy. While, according to multiple analyses, the relative risk of breast cancer in estrogen users seems to be only slightly increased over 1.0, the risk is not evenly distributed among various populations of women. In clinical practice, doctors are not certain which of their patients are prone to develop breast cancer and which are not. Still, the physician confronts the need to make practical decisions about hormone administration. A decision tree is presented in this paper to facilitate the choice and to help the practitioner in reconciling two seemingly contradictory medical precepts.
