Abstract

The medical profession faces a challenge as it tries to adapt old ways of thinking to the realities of new ways of delivering health care. If it is to adapt successfully, says Dr. Robert Burns, more female physicians must be involved in providing leadership within the profession. In this article Burns, executive director of the Alberta Medical Association, looks at ways organized medicine can be made more attractive to women.
