BACKGROUND: The number of surgical residents experiencing childbearing during residency training is increasing, and there is an absence of clarity with respect to parental-leave, lactation and return-to-work policies in support of residents. The aim of this review was to examine parental-leave policies during residency training in surgery and the perceptions of these policies by residents, program directors and coresidents, as described in the literature.
METHODS: We performed a scoping review of the literature based on the following themes: maternity or parental-leave policies; antepartum work-restriction policies and obstetric complications; accommodations for training absences; support for, and perceptions of, maternity or parental leave during residency training; and challenges upon return to work, namely resident performance and breastfeeding.
RESULTS: Parental-leave policies during surgical residency training have historically lacked clarity and enforcement. Although recommendations for parental leave are now in place, this may have historically contributed to a lack of perceived support for surgical residents and may result in variable leave permitted to residents. Unclear policies may also contribute to career dissatisfaction among resident parents, which may deter qualified individuals from selecting surgical subspecialties.
CONCLUSION: A call for a cultural shift is required to inform policies that would better support residents across all surgical specialties to pursue success in their dual roles as parents and surgeons. With increased awareness, progress in policy and guideline development is under way.
