Women are increasingly entering the medical studies. We aim to investigate surgical residents' career decision making among surgical residents and to assess the presence of women.
An "electronic questionnaire" of self-assessment was distributed to the 2,500 current French surgical residents. Items analyzed included population characteristics, demographics, educational experiences, and choice of career.
There was a response rate of 31.2% (n = 779). The male/female ratio was 1.1 with 370 women (47.5%). The mean age was 28 ± 2 years. All surgical specialties were represented. Sex was significantly associated with the choice of surgical specialty (P < .05). Female residents had a shorter working time per week than male residents (P < .001). Sex was significantly linked with future career plans as female residents expected to work in a public hospital (P = .005) and as male residents expected to work in private practice (P = .001).
Female surgical residents are more populous than ever among surgical residents. Sex appears to be linked with where and how the residents expect to work in the future.
越来越多的女性进入医学专业学习。我们旨在调查外科住院医师的职业决策，并评估女性的存在情况。
我们向 2500 名法国现任外科住院医师分发了一份自我评估的“电子问卷”。分析的项目包括人口特征、人口统计学、教育经历和职业选择。
回复率为 31.2%（n=779）。男女比例为 1.1，其中女性 370 人（47.5%）。平均年龄为 28±2 岁。所有外科专业均有代表。性别与外科专业选择显著相关（P<.05）。女性住院医师每周的工作时间比男性住院医师短（P<.001）。性别与未来的职业规划显著相关，因为女性住院医师预计在公立医院工作（P=.005），而男性住院医师预计在私人诊所工作（P=.001）。
女性外科住院医师在外科住院医师中比以往任何时候都多。性别似乎与住院医师未来期望在哪里以及如何工作有关。
