Background:

Historically, pregnancy among medical professionals has faced workplace challenges and biases.
Understanding evolving attitudes is crucial for supporting physicians during and after pregnancy.

Purpose of the Study:

To assess changes in medical school physicians' perceptions of pregnancy among colleagues over a 10-year period.
To evaluate shifts in views regarding work efficiency, inconvenience, and departmental impact.

Main Methods:

A follow-up survey was conducted with 200 physicians at a single medical institution.
Data from 1980 and 1990 were compared to identify changes in physician attitudes.

Main Results:

Physicians showed increased interest and acceptance of colleagues' pregnancies in 1990 compared to 1980.
More physicians in 1990 reported that pregnant colleagues maintained work efficiency and medical interest.
Fewer physicians in 1990 reported inconvenience or perceived hiring risks associated with women of childbearing age.

Conclusions:

Medical school physicians' acceptance of pregnancy in the workplace has significantly improved over a decade.
These findings suggest a positive shift in institutional culture regarding physician parenthood.
Continued monitoring is recommended to ensure supportive environments for pregnant physicians.
