“…The increase in percentage of female PDs is particularly encouraging, as having females in leadership positions positively correlates with more females in faculty positions. Similar recent work describing both gender and ethnic representation in ACGME MMS fellows supports these results …”

“…Similar recent work describing both gender and ethnic representation in ACGME MMS fellows supports these results. 5 The decline in the percentage of female PDs during 2015-2022 in Figure 2 can be attributed to an increase in total programs, all directed by males, leading to an apparent decrease in female representation while the total number of female PDs remained relatively stable.…”

“…Between 2011 and 2020, men and women represented an average of 52.2% and 47.8%, respectively, of incoming Mohs fellows. 7 More females than males responded, likely reflecting a stronger interest in these issues among female Mohs surgeons. Recent emphasis on issues related to motherhood and infertility among female surgeons has made these issues paramount to trainees.…”

BACKGROUND There is a paucity of literature describing family planning challenges faced by Mohs fellows. OBJECTIVE To characterize perceptions about and experiences with family planning, fertility, lactation, and parental leave and identify ways to support parental health and family planning for Mohs fellows. MATERIALS AND METHODS A voluntary, anonymous survey was distributed to Mohs surgeons who recently completed fellowship. RESULTS In total, 116 Mohs surgeons completed the survey. Their mean age was 34.5 years old, and more were female (n = 81, 69.8%) than male (n = 35, 30.2%). Most had children before completion of their Mohs training (n = 73, 62.9%). The most significant barrier to having children during fellowship was “loss of education or training time.” Over 20% (n = 23) of respondents or their partner had experienced infertility. Half of the 20 respondents (n = 10) who breastfed or pumped did not have a convenient place to do so. CONCLUSION This study elucidates trainee perceptions and gaps in parental support for Mohs fellowship trainees. In addition, barriers to implementing a universal family planning policy in Mohs surgery are discussed.
