The Perception of Pregnancy and Parenthood Among Female Orthopaedic Surgery Residents.

CONCLUSION: This study demonstrates that most female orthopaedic trainees do not have children during residency. Most respondents experienced bias from co-residents about women having children during residency, and nearly half experienced such bias from orthopaedic attendings. Combating bias about pregnancy during residency may help encourage more women to pursue a career in orthopaedics. PMID: 30499893 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
