Challenges persist for female physicians and physicians in training who desire to have children. A scoping review in this issue of Academic Medicine identifies 4 major themes that have evolved over time and have surged in numbers as more women have entered the medical profession and as the sociopolitical environment has progressed: the impact of pregnancy on the physician and her colleagues, pregnant physician work productivity, physician maternity leave policies, and physician maternal-fetal health outcomes. The persistence of themes over time should compel the medical profession and society to address the challenges that face female physicians and physicians in training who desire to have children and to find solutions for them. Women should be able to be physicians, have children if they wish, and have the same health care considerations as nonphysician women. Institutional, departmental, and personal support structures must become a priority.
对于希望生育的女性医生和医学生来说，仍然存在挑战。本期《学术医学》中的范围综述确定了 4 个随着越来越多的女性进入医疗行业以及社会政治环境的进步而逐渐出现并呈上升趋势的主要主题：怀孕对医生及其同事的影响、孕妇医生的工作效率、医生产假政策以及医生母婴健康结果。随着时间的推移，主题的持续存在应该迫使医学界和社会解决面临的挑战，这些挑战是那些希望生育的女性医生和医学生所面临的，并为她们找到解决方案。女性应该能够成为医生，如果她们愿意，也可以生孩子，并且应该与非医生女性享有相同的医疗保健考虑。机构、部门和个人支持结构必须成为优先事项。
