Obstacles during training of pregnant doctors in Germany before and after COVID-19: is there a need for change?
Pregnancy negatively impacts doctors' training and careers. Many women are not allowed to perform surgeries and invasive procedures, even while some of these practitioners report that they wish to and are capable of continuing their work. Change is needed to support enthusiastic young female doctors and students and enable them to maintain their skills and professional advancement during pregnancy.
