[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So what if they go part time? They are still providing a needed service at work and at home and hospitals will just hire a second part timer to keep up with demand. They earn great money for a well-respected part time job and then since they keep practicing can renter FT later. I don’t see a problem here.[/quote]It's the elephant in the room, but more women are in medicine taking residency spots and then choosing not to practice full time. The number of residency spots are finite and increasing med school class size does not address the fact that residency spots are limited. I don't blame these women including friends I have for choosing self-preservation in an increasingly grueling field.[/quote]

This is a spurious argument. There are more residency slots than there are physicians and residency slots go I filled every year. If you’re concerned that a woman is taking a spot from a man in a more competitive specialty, well if that many wanted the spot so badly he needed to be more qualified to begin with. Not her problem that he had worse grades, boards scores and recommendations during medical school, and she gets to have a great career on her own terms.

The doctor shortages that we have today are caused by doctors (of both sexes) choosing to live in more urban areas instead of underserved areas that are more poor and rural. That has nothing to do with sex, gender or FT/PT. In fact, of the women I know who work PT temporarily, all of them have done it in underserved areas to make more money on a more flexible schedule.[/quote]
