Hi everyone!  I'm Heather DeMarco at the business desk and I'd like to zoom in on a very interesting trend taking place across North America these days and it concerns the medical field.
There was a time when the medical field seemed to be an old boys club whereby almost every physician and surgeon was male.  In 1969 the number of female graduates coming out of medical schools stood at a very meagre 17% but in 2004 statistics revealed that this figure had climbed to a very healthy 61%.  By the same token the number of females making up MBA classes as of 2004 stood at a very dismal 28%.  So what does all of this mean?
It seems as if our medical doctors of the future are going to be made up of more and more women and this will undoubtedly change the nature of our medical work force.  Should we expect or could we expect to see a gentler approach towards patients by our female folks?  Another more important question is why is this trend taking place?  Why are more and more men choosing to enter into business schools and why are they staying away from the medical field? 
We probably won't notice this for a few more years at least not until 2008 when the first batch of women doctors and surgeons come into our hospitals and clinics and shortly after this when you go to see your physician or a consult a specialist you will probably be met by a woman medical professional.
