The demands of a medical residency can make balancing a career and family a challenge. But the results of a survey of emergency department (ED) resident physicians' attitudes on pregnancy during residency may offer uplifting news. The survey of 541 residents from across the country found that 84 percent said it was acceptable for female residents to have children during residency and 82 percent said they would rearrange their schedule to help a pregnant colleague.
