Pediatricians working part-time (PT) often balance family and career, while full-time (FT) pediatricians may desire reduced hours. These choices shape distinct career paths for women in pediatrics.

Area of Science:

  • Medical specialties
  • Pediatrics
  • Work-life balance

Background:

  • Pediatricians' career and family patterns are influenced by work schedules.
  • Understanding these patterns is crucial for workforce planning and support.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate differences in career and family patterns between part-time (PT) and full-time (FT) pediatricians.
  • To explore the motivations and satisfaction levels of pediatricians with different work arrangements.

Main Methods:

  • A national survey of American Academy of Pediatrics members.
  • Questionnaires collected data on demographics, practice type, work hours, and career attitudes.

Main Results:

  • Part-time women pediatricians, often with children, prioritize combining career and family.

  • Full-time women had fewer children than PT women and FT men.
  • PT women reported high career satisfaction despite perceived compromises; many FT pediatricians desired fewer hours.

    • Conclusions:

    • Work schedule choices significantly impact career trajectories for women pediatricians.
    • Part-time work is a strategy for integrating professional and family responsibilities.
    • Academic institutions can leverage the contributions of part-time women pediatricians by acknowledging their unique career paths.
