Eleven women in various specialities, including the academic and administrative spheres, were interviewed with regard to their experiences throughout their career. These women all held senior positions in Medicine and represent a broad age range (35–69 years). Information gathered during the interviews was analysed thematically in an attempt to develop a basis for further research examining predictors of success for women in medicine.
