ABSTRACT
Medical school, residency, and fellowship occur during peak reproductive years for most trainees. This poses certain challenges for medical trainees as they approach family-building decisions. While the demands of residency have been well-elucidated, attempts at mitigating these demands alongside parenthood have long been neglected across various specialties. These challenges are perhaps most pronounced in Obstetrics and Gynecology residency programs, which are made-up of an 85% female-identifying workforce and whose training focuses on prenatal and postpartum health. Recent literature suggests an improvement in attitudes and policies towards parental leave during medical graduate education, however, there remains a lack of uniformity across specialties and programs. Through a recently developed Parental Leave Task Force made up of Obstetrics and Gynecology Trainees, we sought to conduct a review of the literature examining parental leave policies and their implications across various specialties as a call for uniform parental leave policies for all residents.
