Motherhood and Anesthesiology: A Survey of the American Society of Anesthesiologists.

CONCLUSIONS: In this study of 1827 women anesthesiologists, approximately 1 in 10 would counsel a student against a career in anesthesiology due to obstacles pertaining to motherhood, and this was associated with altering one's timing and number of children due to job demands. Further research is needed to understand how women's perception of a career in anesthesiology is related to factors influencing personal choices. Understanding women's perceptions of motherhood in anesthesiology may help leaders support career longevity and personal satisfaction in this growing cohort of anesthesiologists.
