Abstract: 

Women biostatisticians in New Zealand are a substantial proportion of a very small group of statisticians. The term "biostatisticians" refers to statisticians who work on research projects in the area of medical or health research. They are usually attached to schools of medicine where they provide consultancy services and teaching, although some are employed to work on large projects or within research units.
