“…Alternatively, perhaps hours spent on child care do not come at the expense academic pursuits, but instead come at the expense of self-care and leisure activities. We failed to detect any gender or parental-based differences in the likelihood of seeking an academic career, but data from other specialties have shown mixed results (19,20). …”

“…Numbers of manuscripts and abstracts produced during residency were self-reported, and the anonymous nature of the survey design precluded verifying these publications. In slightly older cohorts of radiation oncology residents, the average number of manuscripts and abstracts ranged from 1 to 3 (20,35). Despite these limitations, we feel this survey gives valuable insight into the experiences and opinions of contemporary radiation oncology residents.…”

“…ObGyn, being one of the highly paid specialties, was chosen by medical students for financial benefits and paying debts. 3 , 8 , 13 , 16 , 18 However, our results were more consistent with Scott et al, because financial aspect was not the primary motive among this group. 9 Three out of eighteen participants have mentioned it as a secondary consideration.…”

Objectives: This qualitative study aimed to explore motivational sources of physicians, at the time of selection and while pursuing ObGyn career. Secondary aim was to explore challenges and strategies adapted by these physicians to overcome these challenges. Methods: This is qualitative study with constrictive worldview. ObGyn residents and consultants of Aga Khan University, Karachi, were interviewed from July 2017 till Jan 2019, after ethical approval, using purposeful maximum variation sampling. Analysis were conducted by identifying keywords and phrases, these unedited verbatim with no assumptions provided basis for codes, which then clustered as trends. Emerging findings were discussed among authors and themes were finalized with consensus. Conclusion was formulated by linking these themes. Results: Four themes emerged were, ‘grounds for selecting ObGyn as career’, ‘Motivational Factors’, ‘Demotivating Factors’ and ‘Strategies to Cope with Challenges’. Results showed that aptitude and passion not only have pivotal role in career selection but also helped in pursuance. Personal fulfilment and hands-on experience satisfy emotional needs, while family and friends supported participants in maintaining work-life balance and in over-coming challenges. Conclusions: Considering personal preference and aptitude at the time of career selection helps in endurance and keep motivations high, while challenges in pursuance can be overcome by strong support system. doi: https://doi.org/10.12669/pjms.36.6.3080 How to cite this:Ahmed I, Ashar A.

“…Indeed, there is engagement in academic activities, which could be developed further if there was an opportunity to take part in research, publications, and presentations during training in vascular surgery. 20 The majority of the female surgeons combine work in the public and private healthcare systems, spending a large proportion of their working hours in clinical consultations. A little more than a third of the female vascular surgeons have their own practices, and venous surgery, esthetic phlebology, and vascular ultrasound are their main occupations.…”

Resumo Contexto O aumento da participação feminina no contingente médico brasileiro e mundial tem sido notório; entretanto, o número de mulheres cirurgiãs não acompanha a mesma tendência. Além da análise quantitativa, os fatores determinantes da escolha pela especialidade cirúrgica e as características da atuação profissional necessitam de mais estudos. Objetivos Delinear o perfil das cirurgiãs vasculares brasileiras no que diz respeito às características demográficas, grau de qualificação, engajamento científico e integração ao mercado de trabalho. Métodos Um questionário eletrônico foi disponibilizado on-line durante 30 dias e teve seu link amplamente divulgado entre cirurgiãs vasculares. Após coleta, retornaram 101 questionários válidos, cujos dados foram tabulados em planilhas do Microsoft Excel para análise descritiva simples. Resultados O perfil encontrado foi de mulheres com até 45 anos de idade que atuam na área por no máximo 10 anos. A formação foi predominantemente por meio de residência médica ou estágio reconhecido pela sociedade da especialidade. Cirurgia venosa, flebologia estética e ecografia vascular mostraram-se como principais campos de atuação para cirurgiãs vasculares. Apesar de possuírem titulação e publicações científicas, a sua representatividade nos cargos de liderança permanece baixa. Mais de 64% das participantes referiram sentimento de desvalorização profissional devido ao fato de serem mulheres. Conclusões Apesar das limitações da população estudada, este estudo preliminar corrobora com a ideia de que as cirurgiãs vasculares demonstram uma contínua dedicação à especialidade e abre um precedente para que novas pesquisas acessem os pormenores dessa atuação profissional, fomentando a discussão sobre as desigualdades entre os gêneros no exercício da medicina.
