I enjoyed Dr. Carolyn Robinowitz's article on women in psychiatry in her president's column in the September 21 issue. My experience parallels hers—my medical school class—University of Washington, class of 1964—had about five women and 70 men. We had one or two women in our intern group in medicine and pediatrics at Syracuse, general psychiatric residency in Rochester, N.Y., and child fellowship at Yale.
I have been teaching at the University of California Davis Medical School since I arrived in the area in the early 1970s. Women have been well represented in this medical school and achieved majority status at least 10 years ago. Recently, I have been teaching a doctoring class to second-year medical students. My current class has six women and two men, and of course my goal is to make them all child psychiatrists.
