Baby Fever: Examining Parental Leave Policies and Pregnancy Accommodations on Emergency Medicine (EM) Residency and Graduate Medical Education (GME) Websites
Our findings reveal significant gaps in the availability of PL and pregnancy accommodation information across EM and GME program websites, underscoring the necessity for all medical specialties to improve transparency and accessibility. Providing clear and reliable information is crucial to support prospective residents who may be hesitant to inquire about these policies during interviews. Enhancing these resources will contribute to a more inclusive and supportive training environment, ultimately benefiting both residents and program leadership.
