We used data from the 4,501 respondents to the Women Physicians&#8217; Health Study (WPHS), a stratified random sample of US women M.D.s surveyed in 1993\u20131994, to assess US women physicians&#8217; political characteristics. US women physicians were most likely to consider themselves politically moderate (36.6% of respondents). More considered themselves liberal (28.4%) or very liberal (8.8%) than considered themselves conservative (20.5%) or very conservative (5.8%). US women physicians predominantly bring moderate and liberal voices to political discourse. Organizations that wish to attract US women physician members should consider promoting less conservative policies.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><em>from Erika Frank at Emory (1999) (she&#8217;s now at UBC, Vancouver, where she did the study of med students, below).<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>And another one&#8230;<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Social Science &amp; Medicine : Political self-characterization of US women physicians: &#8220;The political self-characterization of US physicians, especially including women physicians, has been poorly described.
