The following New York Times article highlights the combination of the unequal distribution of domestic labor and a physically and emotionally demanding profession with a lengthy training process that allows few, if any, breaks, as a major cause of burnout disparity between male and female medical residents. Gender bias against women within hospitals, both subtle and over, from patients and colleagues are similarly debilitating. As a result, female physicians are more than twice as likely to commit suicide as the general population, less likely to advance to full professorships, and earn significantly less than their male colleagues. Initiatives that may help with the larger cultural shift include a Stanford pilot program that allows physicians to “bank” hours spent mentoring others or serving on committees to be used as credits towards domestic labor, and placing more women in leadership and mentorship roles.
