More women are entering medical school than ever, but with medical school and residency occurring during the peak years of female fertility, women are delaying having children. Despite rising concerns of physician wellbeing, minimal changes have occurred in medical education to accommodate mothers and pregnant women. There is also a lack of national studies investigating the topic of motherhood in medical school. This gap in research and unaltered education has significant deleterious effects on women and their careers in medicine. However, medical schools and organizations like the Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC) and the American Medical Association (AMA) can instigate change and provide resources to support these students.
