Abstract
Background: Gender diversity in the field of orthopedic surgery has lagged behind other surgical subspecialties. One potential barrier to the recruitment and retention of female orthopedic surgeons lies in controversies surrounding pregnancy and parental leave during residency training, for which no clear guidelines exist. Trainees and residency programs face the challenge of balancing clinical and surgical competency with the health and well being of the mother and her child. This article addresses the current policies, health considerations, perceptions of parental leave and future recommendations regarding pregnancy and parental leave for orthopedic residents. Level of Evidence: V.
Keywords: diversity; pregnancy.
