“…Recently, particular attention has been given to the notion of students rejecting surgical careers because they do not offer a "controllable lifestyle" (13)(14)(15). Studies have reported that women were more likely than men to expect an interruption in their careers in order to raise children (15)(16)(17)(18)(19).
