The following press release from AAMC reveals that in 2017, more women than men enrolled in U.S. medical schools. Female matriculants increased by 3.2% this year, while male matriculants declined by 0.3%. While the majority of matriculants this year were female, males remained a slight majority (50.4%) of applicants. Additionally, an AAMC annual survey of matriculating medical students found that having a work-life balance rather than a “stable, secure future” was an “essential consideration” in their career paths after medical school.
