Abstract
Even today, as society changes its attitudes toward who can provide childcare, the woman physician’s husband who assumes responsibility for childcare is still a rarity.1 The intent to share family responsibilities is frequently made when the woman is in medical school, but once a child is born, the major responsibility for childcare is undertaken by the woman.2 One of the major concerns of young women physicians is how to integrate their marriage, their families, and their careers.3 Most medical students anticipate having children, but foresee childbearing as interfering with their performance in medical school, residency, and later in private practice.3
