Bright students will not apply to medical, dental, optometry, podiatry, and other professionals schools that must depend on the system for their livelihood.
And....It is already happening. When there are more women in the medical school classes than men then the profession has already flipped.

“...When there are more women in the medical school classes than men then the profession has already flipped...”
In Alexander Solzhenitsyn’s semi-autobiographical novel CANCER WARD all of the doctors at the cancer wing were women. But when a female doctor got cancer, likely due from over exposure to radiation used in cancer treatments, she went to see an old male doctor who maintained a quasi-private practice in downtown Tashkent. He recommended that she go to Moscow for treatment and she said, “so you think it is that bad” and he said, “I just want you to have a bit more of an edge.”
But one reason there were so many female MDs is because of the male shortage in the aftermath of WWII in the USSR.
