“…The women's movement stressed the importance of women taking control of women's bodies (Ruzek, 1978), and women medical students in the 1970's began to include ob-gyn in their career plans more often than had their predecessors (Weisman & Teitelbaum, 1987). The result was a marked increase in the number of women electing to receive graduate medical training in this field.…”

“…' The percentage of physicians in this specialty who are women is relatively small, 18.5% (American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, 1989). A marked increase occurred in the number of women receiving graduate training in ob-gyn between the mid-1970s and the mid-1980s, but the number of women medical students selecting this field peaked in 1975-79 (Weisman & Teitelbaum, 1987). This paper discusses longitudinal data obtained from physicians during their medical school training and ten years later when they were practicing physicians that (1) highlight continuing concerns for women interested in working in this specialty of medicine and (2) identify differences in women and men practitioners' early sex-role attitudes that have potentially significant implications for health care delivery to female patients.…”

This paper discusses follow-up data from physicians who were studied ten years earlier when they were medical students. Seventeen physicians were practicing ob-gyn, and 57 of the physicians studied had been interested in an ob-gyn career when they were medical students. At Time 1, women were more likely than men to be strongly interested in ob-gyn, but they were no more likely than men to be ob-gyn physicians at Time 2. The desire to have a surgical specialty was much more important to men than to women practitioners. Men ob-gyn practitioners were significantly more traditional in their sex-role outlook as medical students than were either women practitioners or women who had been strongly interested in the field but did not enter it. The data suggest that women ob-gyn physicians are more likely than their male peers to be egalitarian in their relationships with female patients.

“…Governments and families invest huge amounts of material and financial resources to train professionals; ultimately these professionals may not find a position within the labor market in which the functions they perform accord with the long training they have received [22]. By the end of the 1990s, 720 of every 1000 enrolled medical students finished their training, and of 1000 doctors available in the labor market, only 58% found paid employment that enabled them to practise the skills obtained during their training.…”

Residency period during postgraduate training in medical profession is well known for physical and mental stress. There are many situational, professional, and personal sources of stress, which the author reviews: heavy work-load, sleep deprivation, difficult patients, poor learning environments, relocation issues, isolation and social problems, financial concerns, cultural issues, information overload, and career planning issues. Stress can also originate from gender-related issues and issues related to spouses and family members. The author also describes less commonly documented sources of stress, which is observed in residents who perform marginally and in some cases should not have been passed on from medical school, or who are studying specialties not compatible with their skills and personalities, or who foster severe interpersonal problems on the job. Common effects of stress include frequent absenteeism, minor health problems, anxiety, depression, obsessive compulsive trends, hostility, and alcohol and substance abuse. The author outlines essential elements of an assistance program, states how important such problems can be in saving both residents and their institutions needless difficulties and costs, and presents important issues for the consideration of all involved in residents' training. Purpose of this article is to provide an overview gathered from the extensive literature, of the various stressors resident face; and to discuss assistance to residents and make recommendations about the essential elements of an assistance program.
