I always assumed it was because more men than women applied for medical school. Sort of like why there are more female nurses than male nurses - more females apply for it than males.
Also why there are more female cashiers in Target than males. And more male dairy farm owners than females.
But yes it does depend on the specific field. Pediatrics, OB/GYN, probably more females. I'd have to take a guess that you won't find too many female doctors who specialize in prostate disorders.
