Abstract
A postal questionnaire was carried out in 1984 to determine the career pattern of United Kingdom women medical graduates of 1974. The response rate was 57%. The median age was 33 and 82% were married. Eighty-nine per cent were employed in a vast range of specialties; most of those not working at the time of the survey planned to return to work within 6 months. Many expressed a need for more career advice at all stages, and for more training in the community-based specialties.Keywords
