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.
