Women's roles in medicine expanding
By Jeff Goodwin
Women in medicine have made gains during the last
10 years, Dr. Ann Lott told a group at the Student YWCA
Tuesday afternoon.
Lott spoke on "Women in Medicine" as part of the
Women in Perspective series sponsored by the Student Y.
"The role of women in medicine has changed drama
tically since the 1960s." she said.
Lott said that when she went to the NU Medical
Center, women made ud 10 oercent of the class. Women
now make up about 25 percent of the classes at medical

schools across the country.
Lott said she was not aware of overt discrimination
against women when she was in medical school.
"There may have been a lot of discrimination that I
wasn't smart enough to see," she said. "But I think it
was more my problem than theirs. I just didn't volunteer
things because I was afraid I was wrong."
Lott, a dermatologist, said women are getting into
more areas of medicine.
"One of the exciting areas for women is internal
medicine," she said. "We're seeing more women in that
field."
Lott said that orthopedics is one area in which women
doctors are not prominent.
"There is a belief that women aren't strong enough
to be orthopedic surgeons," she said. "I don't think that's
true."
Lott said role models for women going into medicine
have changed over the past few years.
"When I first went into medicine, the first role model
I had was called "Typhoid Mary" by the medical students.
I like to think I'm a better role model than that."
Lott said patients are not assertive enough in dealing
with doctors, citing examples of patients who wait for a
long time in doctor's offices and are afraid to ask the
doctor what their medication is being prescribed for.
In spite of her politically liberal ideals, Lott said,
she is against the idea of socialized medicine.
"I've worked in too many Veterans Administration
hospitals (to support socialized medicine)," she said.
"It loses something in that situation. People become
terribly depersonalized."
Lott said she thinks the doctor's image also has
changed.
"Doctors don't have the respect in the community that
they used to," she said. "I feel I always have to defend
myself and my motives for being a doctor."
Lott said women were making gains in medicine, but
slowly.
"The more people we have who say these things out
loud, the more people who'll listen," she said. "I still
look at myself as being odd, but that's because I look
around me sometimes and whisper to myself, 'I'm a
Democrat.' There's a lot of education that still has to
go on in the medical profession."
"The patriarchy is still very strong in the medical
profession. But it's not as conservative as it used to be,"
she said.
