Abstract
Gender Disparities in Work and Parental Status Among Early Career Physicians
Highlights
Women make up half of incoming US medical students.[1]
Physicians from multiple specialties (Table 1) who enrolled in the prospective longitudinal Intern Health Study from March 2007 to June 2013 completed an online survey about their current employment status and gender in August 2016.4 All participants provided informed consent and were compensated $25
Participants working full-time were asked whether they ever considered working part-time. Except for those who reported working full-time and not having ever considered part-time work, all participants responded to an open-text question, “what specific factors influenced your decision to work fulltime, part-time, or not at all?” Data were analyzed from June 2018 to June 2019
Summary
Women make up half of incoming US medical students.[1]. While much progress has been made toward equalizing levels of entry into the field of medicine for men and women, large gaps in salary and leadership positions remain.[2,3] To gain insight into the timing and drivers of gender gaps for the newest generation of physicians, we followed a cohort of physicians emerging from training for attrition from the workforce and the role of family considerations in decisions about how much to work.Author affiliations and article information are listed at the end of this article.
