CHICAGO — White men score higher than women of all races on the science exam medical students must take to become licensed doctors, and a researcher said cultural obstacles faced by women may help explain why.
Medical exam may show bias
Women may not approach the test as competitively as men, the researcher said.
The Associated Press
White men also did better than men from other racial groups, with Asian-Pacific Islanders being the only group where the difference was not explained by differences in prior education, researchers reported in yesterday's issue of The Journal of the American Medical Association.
In a study of more than 10,000 medical students, white men generally did better on the test than all women, even after discounting for differences in their undergraduate education and in scores on medical entrance exams.
The findings suggest three possibilities: the test is flawed in some way; the students had some prior educational differences that researchers couldn't detect or the lower-scoring groups were in fact deficient in the subjects on which they were tested, said an editorial
Beth Dawson, a biostatistics professor at Southern Illinois University School of Medicine and the study's lead author, said she believes women may face cultural disadvantages.
"What kind of family support do they have?" she asked, adding that fewer men than women are expected to handle tasks around the house while in school. "They have to get home and ... do their own laundry and housecleaning. And THEN they have to study."
accompanying the studv.
A third possibility is that women may not strive as hard on the test because they are less likely to seek competitive residencies such as orthopedics and ophthalmology, for which the test is a screening tool, she said.

Women also have fewer teachers and role models of their gender helping them succeed, Dawson said.
The exam — Part 1 of the National Board of Medical Examiners test — deals with sciences such as physiology, biochemistry and microbiology. Doctors must pass all three parts of the test to obtain a license to practice.
Johnson County in top 25
WASHINGTON — To find the most-expanding, most-educated, highest-earning population in Kansas, look no further than Johnson County.
The Associated Press
The Kansas City suburb also boasts the largest female work force in the state, according to the Census Bureau.
The data is part of the bureau's just-released 1994 "County and City Data Book," which is full of statistics on communities nationwide.
Johnson County, which includes the cities of Olathe and Overland Park, grew by 104,878 people between 1980 and 1992.
— Most adults with at least a high school diploma, 92.9 percent. That ranks eighth nationally.
Johnson County topped several other Census Bureau lists in Kansas. The county also made the Census Bureau's top 25 list in some categories. Among them:
— Highest per-capita income, $20,592.
— Most adults with a bachelor's degree or higher, 40.5 percent. Ranks 21st nationally.
— Top median value of owner-occupied houses,
$91,500.
- Most women in civilian labor force, 66.8 percent.
