Pregnancy outcomes in US female physician trainees: a systematic review

Although pregnancy complications appear to be common among female physician trainees, current data on obstetric outcomes in this population remain limited. Most studies focus specifically on surgical trainees and rely on self-reported data, limiting generalizability. Residency programs may consider findings from this review to enhance support for childbearing trainees, although prospective studies are needed to better discern the impact of medical training on maternal and fetal outcomes.

Abstract

Although pregnancy complications appear to be common among female physician trainees, current data on obstetric outcomes in this population remain limited. Most studies focus specifically on surgical trainees and rely on self-reported data, limiting generalizability. Residency programs may consider findings from this review to enhance support for childbearing trainees, although prospective studies are needed to better discern the impact of medical training on maternal and fetal outcomes.
