There is a long history to my informal investigation of this.
I will just say that it started with looking at the list of people from BYU admitted to medical school, and seeing this growing list I noticed that there were almost no women on the list. I can't remember the total number--130 people or so, maybe more. There were 3 female names.
I'm not going to share my entire history here, but suffice it to say that I became extremely confident, as I poked around further, that women were being discouraged from going into medicine at BYU.
You have to be very naive to find this surprising.
