ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
Prospective residents use program websites to glean information regarding parental leave policies. This study investigates the online availability and content of parental leave policies for general surgery residency programs.METHODS:
Parental leave policy information was collected from general surgery residency program and Graduate Medical Education (GME) websites. Descriptive statistics and multivariable logistic regression were used for analysis.RESULTS:
Of the 344 general surgery residency programs, parental leave policies were found on 6% of program and 52% of GME websites. Family Medical Leave Act policies were reported the most, followed by maternity, then paternity, and then adoption/other clauses. Academic programs, program location in the Southeastern US and larger program size were all significant predictors of online policy availability.CONCLUSIONS:
General surgery parental leave policies vary and are not readily available online. These findings identify a significant opportunity for surgery residency programs to improve the disclosure of parental leave policy information.Palavras-chave
