Residents fellows who (or whose partners) experienced pregnancies during their clinical years asked about perceptions learning environment (work hours mistreatment, discrimination, bullying, harassment), (miscarriage, pre-eclampsia, placental abruption, intrauterine growth restriction, cesarean section, postpartum depression), burnout.

Final of articles assessed quality summarized according thematic trends. Results Of 180 reviewed, 42 met inclusion. educational pathways including lower retention rates institutional climates that disproportionately impact experiences wellbeing. Both women less likely apply, match, succeed residency, often due challenges related academic performance, lack mentorship, support.
