Attitudes and Factors Affecting the Decisions of Men and Women Pediatrics Residents toward Having Children during Their Residencies.

Wilson, Michele D.; And Others

Academic Medicine, v66 n12 p770-72 Dec 1991

A study of 417 pediatric residents found more men than women had children during residencies. More married women than men without children felt it would have a negative effect on careers and saw difficulties with child care. Residents having children during residencies did not differ significantly by sex on these issues. (Author/MSE)
