They also retire much earlier than men, with many women doctors quitting when they're still in their forties. This is the same problem which Jordan Peterson was reporting on his experiences with the female lawyers, but in a different profession.
There was a big brouhaha about a medical college in Japan which was secretly refusing women applicants on the basis that women had shorter careers than men, so the huge expense of training a doctor was wasteful if the person would have a much shorter medical career. The school had to apologise, but women doctors on average work fewer hours, take maternity leave, and early retirement. It's not sexism or chauvinism to point that out I don't think.
