New Edition of "Women in Medicine" is Now Available

Women in Medicine: Career and Life Management by Marjorie A. Bowman, Erica Frank, and Deborah I. Allen is now available. Women in Medicine is a newly revised, expanded, and updated third edition of the successful, Stress and Women Physicians. The authors' new experiences, up-to-the-minute data, and a changing medical milieu provide a substantial revision of the previous two popular editions. Women in Medicine: Career and Life Management is pertinent to contemporary medicine because women represent a rapidly growing percentage of the physician population. Women physicians and their professional and personal partners will find this book invaluable.

In addition to covering general issues related to women physicians, third edition includes specialized new topics, such as: Minority Women Physicians; Stress Prevention and Management; Disability in Women Physicians; and Older Women Physicians 

Women in Medicine also includes case vignettes and useful appendices, such as resource lists, organizations, and Web-site addresses. This edition serves as an ideal resource for learning and coping with the unique issues faced by women physicians. It is an insightful and indispensable book-required reading for all physicians.
