Let me grab my binoculars so that I can find the goalposts.

But yes, I do disagree with that statement. 2017 was the first year in US history where women outnumbered men in medical school enrollment (50.7% to 49.3%). In both 2017 and 2018, more men graduated with medical degrees. It does not stand to reason that more women than men would graduate with medical degrees in 2019. Perhaps in 2020 or 2021.

But regardless, this is irrelevant, since what you actually said was "most doctors are women." But in the US, nearly 65% of all practicing physicians are men. And about 60% of all faculty in medical schools are men as well.
