An ENT trainee shared her experience of juggling a medical career with motherhood, exposing the systemic biases faced by female doctors with children.
Hatice became pregnant while working as a medical resident, and her career took a noticeable hit. Her training was downgraded, and her job applications went unanswered. We spoke with her about her experiences and the disadvantages faced by young female doctors with children. I initially started my clinical year at a hospital in Cologne, Germany. Then, 8 months in, I got pregnant with my first child during the first COVID-19 wave.
In the Cologne/Düsseldorf/Bonn area, there is no shortage of doctors in training. This means that as soon as I leave, there will be new recruits. So my boss actually said to me at the time, “If you’re gone, you’re gone, then the next candidate will come along.”I returned full-time and took on all my usual duties. Fortunately, my husband takes on a lot at home. He spent a significant time on parental leave and has often been the one to care for our child when they’re sick.
This raises the question of adapting working conditions. In your case, it seems that a change in employer attitudes is also needed. What’s your perspective?
