The purpose of this study was to determine the possible effects of gender on residents' and fellows' motivations in choosing radiology as a career in France, and on choosing a practice setting later on.
An online survey was sent to French residents and fellows in order to access their radiology practice and career aspirations, as well as the potential influence of their gender. Influence of being a woman on initial professional expectations, professional choices, and the evolution of career paths was investigated using the chi-square test.
Responses were collected from 206 French residents and fellows. The reasons for choosing radiology residency were, at first, mostly the same for men and women such as interest in the specialty (100% of women and men), work conditions (74% of women and men), technical aspects of the specialty (63% of men and 52% of women, P=0.11) or "reasonable" workload (29% women and 21% men, P=0.19); however, 74% of women stated that maternity might influence their career choices, and were less interested in unstable positions exclusively in private practice (45% men and 33% women, P=0.05).
Male and female radiologists primarily considered the same factors in choosing their specialties. However, maternity is still a source of inequality in France, including fewer opportunities for fellowship positions or academic careers. Furthermore, more women were willing to work in salaried positions to acquire a secure job, even though compensation might be lower.
本研究旨在确定性别对法国住院医师和研究员选择放射科职业的动机以及以后选择执业环境的可能影响。
我们向法国住院医师和研究员发送了一份在线调查，以了解他们的放射科实践和职业抱负，以及他们的性别可能产生的影响。使用卡方检验调查女性对初始职业期望、职业选择和职业道路演变的影响。
共收集到 206 名法国住院医师和研究员的回复。选择放射科住院医师的原因首先对男性和女性来说大致相同，例如对该专业的兴趣（100%的女性和男性）、工作条件（74%的女性和男性）、该专业的技术方面（63%的男性和 52%的女性，P=0.11）或“合理”工作量（29%的女性和 21%的男性，P=0.19）；然而，74%的女性表示，产假可能会影响她们的职业选择，而且她们对私人执业中不稳定的职位不感兴趣（45%的男性和 33%的女性，P=0.05）。
男性和女性放射科医生在选择专业时主要考虑相同的因素。然而，在法国，产假仍然是不平等的一个来源，包括获得研究员职位或学术职业的机会较少。此外，更多的女性愿意从事受薪工作以获得一份稳定的工作，尽管薪酬可能较低。
