Abstract

Pregnancy and delivery are life events unique to females, and the major burdens of childcare are usually performed by females in Japan. Therefore, those events can obstacles to career development. We administered a questionnaire to female physicians at Nagasaki University Hospital in October 2013 to find out what was needed to improve their career development. A questionnaire was sent to 160 female physicians, 106 of whom responded (response rate: 66%). Forty-four of 50 surgeons responded (88%). Most of the subjects were in their 30s. Female surgeons tended not to have considered delivery and childcare at the time when they were selecting their specialty and tended to expect childcare support, rather than an exemption to be on call for emergency surgery.
