Little is known about the impact of parental leave on anesthesiology fellowship directors' perception of their fellows. In addition, use of parental leave during residency can result in "off-cycle" residents applying for a fellowship. This study sought to clarify fellowship directors' attitudes and beliefs on effects of parental leave on fellows and off-cycle fellowship applicants.
An online survey was sent to anesthesiology fellowship program directors through e-mail addresses obtained from websites of the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education and specialty societies. Descriptive statistical analysis was used.
In total, 101 fellowship directors (31% response rate) completed the survey. Forty-one (41%) directors had a fellow who took maternity leave in the past 3 years. Among the programs, 49 (49%) have a written policy about maternity leave and 36 (36%) have a written paternity or partner leave policy. Overall, most fellowship directors believed that becoming a parent had no impact on fellow performance and professionalism; more respondents perceived a greater negative impact on scholarly activities, standardized test scores, and procedural volume for female trainees than male trainees. Some fellowship directors (10/94; 11%) reported they do not allow off-cycle residents in their program. Among programs that allow off-cycle residents, more directors perceived it a disadvantage rather than an advantage.
Fellowship directors perceive that anesthesiology residents who finish training outside the typical graduation cycle are at a disadvantage for fellowship training.
关于陪产假对麻醉学住院医师培训项目主任对其学员看法的影响，目前了解甚少。此外，住院医师培训期间休陪产假可能会导致“非同期”住院医师申请住院医师培训项目。本研究旨在阐明住院医师培训项目主任对陪产假对学员及非同期住院医师培训项目申请者影响的态度和看法。
通过从毕业后医学教育认证委员会和专业协会网站获取的电子邮件地址，向麻醉学住院医师培训项目主任发送在线调查问卷。采用描述性统计分析。
共有101名住院医师培训项目主任（回复率31%）完成了调查。41名（41%）主任的学员在过去3年休过产假。在这些项目中，49个（49%）有关于产假的书面政策，36个（36%）有关于陪产假或伴侣假的书面政策。总体而言，大多数住院医师培训项目主任认为成为父母对学员的表现和职业素养没有影响；更多受访者认为女性学员在学术活动、标准化考试成绩和操作量方面受到的负面影响比男性学员更大。一些住院医师培训项目主任（10/94；11%）报告称他们的项目不允许非同期住院医师申请。在允许非同期住院医师申请的项目中，更多主任认为这是劣势而非优势。
住院医师培训项目主任认为，在典型毕业周期之外完成培训的麻醉学住院医师在住院医师培训方面处于劣势。
