In every profession, the first few years are difficult due to lack of experience and low income (or no income at all ).
The girls usually avoid this situation and that is why they are lagging behind in professional life, although they are better in acdamic life.
Shifting to other town after marriage also create hurdles in smooth begining of professional life for girls. Small private hospital are the only place where they can practice without the hassles of gov. service.
Lets hope the situation will improve with the changing culture of pakistani society.

Dear,its not the matter of superiority or inferiority...men are not superior than Women in any case,,in any field,,plaese change your mindset here...:however,both have to perform different roles in the society..and a girl can be a very good doc(as u mentioned the example of your friend's experience in your previous post)...
regards,

problem with male-female issues is we always get into debate of who is superior and whether both are equal or not. this makes a debate/discussion useless

increasing number of girls in medical college is because of many reasons(as i mentioned above)
girls are hard working and competing in every field.

ratio of girls leaving medical field is about 50% where as male doctors ratio of leaving for css or mba or other reason is only 5-8%. it can be proved easily.

problems for girls to leave this field is mostly personal and family related.
sometimes just want to take a break for some time and that break never ends or it becomes difficult to adjust after break.a female has to look after both job and family as well.on the other hand males concentrate on job more.(unko gr ja k khana nahi pakana hota)

male being a stronger gender has certain edge.
our society ,our own thinking and some part of reality makes most believe that girls are not so capable in this field.one who does not have knowledge,either one is male or female ,is not suitable for job.
to improve knowledge girls do not get time after marriages,where as boys have many oppurtunities. its not about capability ,its about circumstances.


now increasing number of girls is in almost all fields. if one talk of capability then one can see girls competing with boys equally in all educational institutions. but when it comes to practical life,our culture put strong restrictions and there is the real flaw.
its like starting well but losing at the end.

I think, in this post, the member tried to say that male and female are not equal which means quite different from each other. Both of the gender are perfectionists in their shoes. As he elaborated (or tried to) in the next part of his statement.

Am I wrong?

I really condemn the kind of thinking some of the CSS aspirants are showing here. Girls are increasing in numbers in medical colleges, first of all do not forget that girls/women form 55% of the total population of Pakistan and even this female population is on rise. Secondly, medicine and teaching are perhaps the only two professions that are considered suitable in this male dominant society of ours. Girls are always underprivilged. They have to make sacrifices for their brothers, father and husband. Girls are deprived of their legal part in inheritance even today in Pakistan. Women form an underprivileged section of our society. If gender balance in medical colleges is tilted towards females then what about engineering, accounting and business studies. In most of engineering programmes, there are only 1-2% girl students. It does not mean that women cannot compete with men in these fields. It's our thinking, our inclination, our social and cultural behaviours and our psychological attitude towards women that inhibits them to excel in these so-called men owned fields. Women are harassed in these manly fields, so their families are reluctant to let them join them.
Girl students are today more hardworking as compared to males and they get admission in med colleges by dint of their hardwork. Since the system adopted for admissions in medical colleges is transparent so we should have no problem with anybody's gender.

A lot has already been discussed, I'll add a few things.

In our social setup, their roles & priorities drastically differ from ours as they graduate, so they can't be blamed much.

Our success can be gauged by many a things but theirs is always by their family obligations, marriage & kids. With the exception of very few motivated female doctors, most of them prefer to adopt the usual eastern married life style.

In the past and as per our observation about female doctors, continuance of the medical career has been endured by either those getting married late/not at all, or by those facing some financial strains during their married life.

But trends are changing now, more female doctors are coming in to pursue career ahead, but still their prime priority remains their families and thats the way it should be.

Lolz...Thats funny!!!and unbelievable!!!
I am sure its only a rare occurence.The vast majority of lady gynaecologists is familiar with the term.



I am not going into the implications of girls outnumbering boys in medical colleges.You all have dwelled on that pretty well.
Now if you look at this trend,its very easy to explain it by considering the gender differences in the anatomy of the human brain.....
The difference in the anatomy of the male and female brain explains why we see girls opting for the medical profession and boys taking up technical career paths.There is growing evidence from research that men and women differ in the amounts of gray and white matter....Men have 6.5 times more gray matter related to general intelligence than women while women have 10 times more white matter related to general intelligence...That is NOT to say that women are any less intelligent than men.That isn't quite what it is.It only means that women are better at tasks that require integrating and assimilating information.Since getting into a medical school requires a lot of memorising in the years leading up to it,women are better able to do that because the anatomy of their cortex is better suited for the task.
Men,on the other hand,excel at tasks that require processing of information..for eg,mathematics and the technical stuff because grey matter represents information processing centers.
So that makes it easier to explain why we see girls flocking to the medical profession.
As far as this topic is concerned...I don't why there is so much concern over it.By no means ic this a downhill trend.I mean,considering the demographics of Pakistan's population,its a positive sign that women(who constitute more than half of our population)are making use of their existence instead of sitting around idle.
And who said tht medical profession for girls does not sit well with family life????Things are changing really fast in our part of the world.People are increasingly becoming aware of the fact that we are living in the days of economic recession.They are increasingly waking up to the fact that single-handed earning is simply not going to get them a decent living.More and more women are beginning to take their careers seriously.Look around you and believe me it won't take you long to see this trend emerging.

DEAR LOOK this is not a matter of superiority of inferiority of a gender its realy a genuine issue,,,and as far as BLACK COFFEE is concerned you are just going to complicate the issue man....for your very kind information the trend has just changed in the last 4 TO 5 years the GIRLS ARE almost double in numbers....and if the issue would have been with GRAY AND WHITE matter THIS TREND WOULD HAVE STARTED since very long....AND as far as MAHA IS CONCERNED......LOOK you need not to be emotional...their is not even a single percent matter of superiority of inferiority its just a worrying factor in a real sense when we see the girls sitting in their homes at least 50 percent<but i think more>>dr ferhan<DEADLY DOCTOR>>SUGGESTED it be to 50 percent.....after competing so tough tenure of their studied and that too casting too much to govt per student......its appreciated that they must come to medical field even more than what they are today but they must also think what is their contribution in this field.they must contribute to the nation....GIRLS MUST THINK

@dr tariq
I can guess what might have happened over the last 4-5 yrs....The grey matter suddenly got more grey and the white matter got more white!!!!!!!

Okay,jokes apart.I think this has to do with the cumulative effect of a lot of factors that are at work.For instance,our society puts a premium on the med profession for girls.A lot of people believe that its the most appropriate career path for girls.There is no denying the fact that parents(at least some of them)push their daughters towards the med side,thinking its best for their daughter to be a doctor than anything else.

The anatomy factor that I talked about is only a piece in the jigsaw puzzle.Of course it doesn't entirely explain the scenario.
