Study asks: Why isn’t anyone talking about medical students with children? A new paper by Brown University researchers is one of the first to call attention to the need for more support for medical students who are pregnant or parenting. PROVIDENCE, R.I. [Brown University] — There are no national studies on medical students who are parents and very little information about what medical schools are doing to support these students, a review by researchers at Brown University found. In fact, there isn’t even an accurate measure of exactly how many such students there are: According to the Association of American Medical Colleges’ 2020 Medical School Graduation Questionnaire, 7.3% of graduating medical students reported “having at least one non-spouse dependent” — an inclusive phrase that covers, but doesn’t differentiate, parents of children.

Without data on these students, it’s harder for medical schools to provide the support they need when they need it, says Shayla Durfey, coauthor of a new scholarly perspective piece on pregnant and parenting medical students. She cites longitudinal studies of PhD students showing that beginning to support pregnancy and parenting at the faculty level, rather than at the student level, creates a “leaky pipeline” that can cause trainees to leave academia prematurely.
Lesbian, gay, bisexual medical students are more likely to experience burnout, study finds Burnout among medical students has significant implications for student health and delivery of care, and future physicians in sexual minority groups report higher rates of burnout than their heterosexual peers. PROVIDENCE, R.I. [Brown University] — Studies have shown that nearly half of all medical students in the U.S. report symptoms of burnout, a long-term reaction to stress characterized by emotional exhaustion, cynicism and feelings of decreased personal accomplishment. Beyond the personal toll, the implications for aspiring and practicing physicians can be severe, from reduced quality of care to increased risk of patient safety incidents.
