We aimed to investigate availability of lactation policy and facility information among surgical residency programs accredited by the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME).
Between March 1, 2023 and October 31, 2023, websites of surgical residency training programs on the ACGME Accreditation System List of Programs by Specialty were reviewed for department lactation policies, links to institutional graduate medical education (GME) websites with lactation policies, lists of lactation facilities, and links to institutional GME websites listing lactation facilities. Scatter plots were generated and Pearson correlation coefficients were calculated to assess relationships of the percentages of female residents, fellows, and faculty in each surgical specialty with the percentage of residency program websites with available lactation information.
In total, 1847 websites were reviewed. Seventeen (0.9%) had lactation policies, 31 (1.7%) had lists of lactation facilities, 231 (12.5%) had links to institutional websites with lactation policies, and 295 (16.%) had links to institutional websites with lists of lactation facilities. The percentage of female residents and fellows and percentage of female faculty were positively correlated with the percentage of residency program websites with available lactation information.
Limited information on lactation policies and facilities is available to surgical residents.
我们旨在调查经研究生医学教育认证委员会（ACGME）认证的外科住院医师培训项目中哺乳政策和设施信息的可获取性。
在2023年3月1日至2023年10月31日期间，对ACGME按专业列出的认证系统中的外科住院医师培训项目网站进行审查，以查找科室哺乳政策、指向具有哺乳政策的机构研究生医学教育（GME）网站的链接、哺乳设施列表以及指向列出哺乳设施的机构GME网站的链接。生成散点图并计算Pearson相关系数，以评估每个外科专业中女性住院医师、研究员和教员的百分比与具有可用哺乳信息的住院医师培训项目网站百分比之间的关系。
总共审查了1847个网站。17个（0.9%）有哺乳政策，31个（1.7%）有哺乳设施列表，231个（12.5%）有指向具有哺乳政策的机构网站的链接，295个（16.%）有指向具有哺乳设施列表的机构网站的链接。女性住院医师和研究员的百分比以及女性教员的百分比与具有可用哺乳信息的住院医师培训项目网站的百分比呈正相关。
外科住院医师可获取的哺乳政策和设施信息有限。
