title: The status of women in dermatology.
abstract: In the near future, almost one-third of all American physicians will be women. Many of these women will be pressured by the needs to balance parental/family and professional responsibilities during the formative stages of their careers. Recommendations for medical school policy changes that recognize these pressures are made.
