About The Study: This study found that female physicians were underrepresented among residents entering high-compensation specialties compared with non–high-compensation specialties. However, while high-compensation surgical specialties experienced a steady increase in the proportion of female applicants and matriculants over time, high-compensation nonsurgical specialties experienced an overall decrease in the proportion of female applicants and no significant changes in the proportion of female matriculants.
