A survey of parental leave for female physicians reveals dissatisfaction and inadequacies
Background
The study aim was to assess parental leave experiences of female physicians across different specialties and institutions over time given that the U.S. does not have a federal paid parental leave policy.
Methods
An online survey was distributed via female physician social media groups in 2022. Descriptive and inferential statistics were used to describe responses.
Results
Of 3,175 U S.-based respondents, 51% reported their current institution has a paid parental leave policy, 40% indicated no paid policy, and 7% didn't know. To take leave, 56% and 53% reported having to utilize paid time off, vacation, or personal days, and having to use short-term disability, respectively. The mean number of weeks of leave taken has remained between 8 and 12 weeks over the past 38 years.
Conclusions
Further work is needed to promote improved parental leave policies for female physicians at all levels of training and practice.
