    Area of Science:

    • Medical Education
    • Graduate Medical Training
    • Physician Workforce Studies

    Background:

    • Traditional residency programs present significant time demands.
    • Increasing numbers of women in medicine necessitate flexible training options.
    • Existing part-time residency programs may not meet current demand.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To quantify the demand for part-time residency programs.
    • To identify the motivations behind interest in part-time training.
    • To assess the potential growth of this demand.

    Main Methods:

    • A survey was administered to medical students at the Medical College of Pennsylvania.
    • Data collected from 206 females and 96 males (84% of all students).
    • Analysis focused on interest levels and underlying reasons for pursuing part-time options.

    Main Results:

    • Approximately 39% of respondents would likely apply for part-time residencies.
    • Interest was higher among women, particularly those who are parents.
    • Dissatisfaction with traditional training hours also drove interest, irrespective of personal status.

    Conclusions:

    • The demand for part-time residency programs likely exceeds current availability.
    • This demand is projected to increase with more women entering the physician workforce.
    • Addressing this demand may require expanding part-time training opportunities.
