Well, let’s start with the numbers we need to know. 34.1% are female, and 65.9% are male. There are 58,300 female doctors, and an unknown amount of male doctors. Now, first of all, we can start with an estimate. There’s likely over 100k male doctors due to the ratio being almost 33.33 66.66. We can compare our final answer to that. The ratio is 1.93:1 for male to female doctors. With this, we can compare X:58,300. The male answer is 112,519. We can fact check this by dividing 112,519 by 58,300 (1.93). In total, there are 170,819 doctors, 112,519 male doctors, and 58,300 female doctors.
