Then again, medicine doesn’t disproportionately drive off women either, and I’m not under the impression that doctors are less likely to be atheistic/rationalistic/high-Openness/etc. than the general population (indeed, they include 1.9% of LW survey respondents, which is about one order of magnitude higher than my out-of-my-ass^WFermi estimate for the general population).

Not much more likely either it seems. Doctors are a very diverse population, probably not many generalizations you can make about rationalism on that front.
