title: Women in hospital medicine: career choices and opportunities.
abstract: A significant number of women now enter hospital medicine. However, many do not make the expected progression within the medical specialties. The Royal College of Physicians set up a working party to examine and collect evidence on the career choices and progression of women in the hospital medical specialties under its remit and published a report of this evidence. This article outlines the findings of the report and the implications for hospital medicine.
