Re: Gen: Maternity Leave in Residency

I remember when my wife was pregnant with our first. I was Chief Resident, and she was Third year. She was still in the OR 18 hours before John was born, but her fingers were so swollen, she had to have the intern tie her knots. Our own Dan Braun was her OB, and she used to weigh herself just before her appts, and if her swelling was too bad, she would have herself paged out before her "official" weigh in. She as absolutely determined to prove that she could do everything the boys could do, and be pregnant to boot. Who says that testosterone poisoning is limited to men?

The RRC makes the rules on that. If I remember, they can miss up to 1 month without having to make up extra time at the end of their residency. I could be wrong on that. It has been a while since I checked it out.

A cardiologist friend of mine asked about his daughter, who is a resident in Ob/Gyn and 38 weeks. He was wondering if there was any standard policy regarding pregnancy in Ob/Gyn residency in terms of time off, etc.

I couldn't find anything with ACOG at first glance.

Does anyone have any insight?

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
