A minority group within a profession is a group which, although technically qualified, deviates from an expected pattern of auxiliary characteristics, such as age, sex, and religious or ethnic affiliation. The situation in which a layman selects a professional is distinguished from that in which he exercises no choice but retains the right to protest. The relative status of various minority group physicians in these two situations is reported on the basis of data obtained from a sample of urban middle-class women. Attitudes toward women physicians are compared with attitudes toward physicians of religious and ethnic minorities
