Q . What is the most challenging part of work for women surgeons?(womeninsurgeryresearch.wordpress.com)A. Women in SurgeryThe Secret World of Women Surgeons You Had No Idea Existed09/10/2015 07:58 am ET Updated Dec 06, 2017By Niamey WilsonSomewhere near the end of my eight years of surgical training, I was operating with an older female attending surgeon. We were exchanging stories about the traumatic yet awesome experiences of residency.“Surgery made a man out of me,” she chuckled.We finished the operation and I headed home later that day.I thought about the magnitude of that statement. She didn’t need to explain the masculinization that had occurred through her surgical residency — I totally got it. As a female surgeon 25 years my senior, hers had certainly been a more grueling experience, with no work hours regulations and a significantly more cutthroat environment than the current, more closely monitored world of surgical training today.Since the Bell Commission implementation in New York in 1989 and the Institute of Medicine report in 1999 “To Err is Human,” restrictions have been placed on resident work hours, sleep requirements and patient hand-offs. But don’t get me wrong — surgical residency today is still grueling. Anyone who has watched Grey’s Anatomy would agree with that, however exaggerated or inaccurate Hollywood portrayals may be. And despite roughly one-thirdof women accounting for surgery residency positions these days, it is still very much a man’s field.I was the only woman in my graduating class of six from a highly competitive general surgery training program just a few years ago. But that was my decision. I had chosen to be smack in the middle of an aggressive, male-dominated field for those eight years.Was I, too, somehow more masculine now that I’d been through surgical training? Did I lose my femininity through training, or perhaps was I always less feminine because I had chosen surgery as a career?One of World’s Only Female Heart Surgeons Sits Down for a Heart-to-Heart Talk By JACQUELINE PRIMOIndeed, the overwhelming majority of surgeons are men. A woman in scrubs walking through the hospital hallways rarely gets recognized as a doctor, and almost never as a surgeon. I am most often confused for a nurse, amongst other professions.As a third year resident, having helped complete a colon operation with my attending surgeon, I went to check on our patient post-operatively. He was on the phone, but when I entered the room, he said, “Hang on, the aide just came in to give me my newspaper.”I stifled my frustration and politely corrected him. And to be clear, I was not carrying a newspaper.On the other hand, male medical students need only don scrubs, and — BAM — they look like surgeons. During rounds, some patients would preferentially direct their gaze and answers to the male medical students, even though I was the chief resident leading the group, asking questions and directing care (and nearly a decade older than the students). Even when we are introduced as doctors, some older patients still refer to us as “lady doctors,” whereas men are just “doctors.”I am a woman in a man’s profession, and it’s certainly time that the prevalence of societal sex-stereotyping is publicly addressed.I, for one, am greatly encouraged by the social media #ILookLike...(fill-in-the-male-dominated-profession-here) movement. It’s inspiring to see smart, capable women in fields such as engineering and physics take charge of this issue. In surgery, too, women have long struggled to gain a foothold, and have been fighting to overcome a perception of inability for years.However, there is another side to the problem that must be openly discussed.A woman in a male-dominated profession shouldn’t need to assimilate herself into an established culture that isn’t welcoming to women. The culture needs to change from within to become a truly gender-neutral meritocracy.Although recognition that women are successfully participating in surgery is paramount, there are emotional barriers, including both subtle and overt misogyny, and a sense that we don’t belong unless we are as “hardcore” as the men.Another difficulty is that the lifestyle is not very conducive for having a family — a reason frequently cited by women medical students when deciding not to pursue a surgical field. Dr. Julie Frieschlag, former surgeon-in-chief at Johns Hopkins, once wrote “the environment must be made more amenable to women” when discussing the lack of women in surgery.During training, it was expected that surgery took precedence over all else. Being allowed the incredible privilege of operating on a patient and understanding all the complexities of smooth recovery, as well as the treacherous road of complications, requires significant dedication. But as residents, we were also subtly praised for being more masculine, more tough. For being able to tolerate the brutally long hours and lack of sleep; able to perform a 12-hour operation without succumbing to the physical needs of your body; able to hold back tears when realizing the patient you’re operating on is dying in front of your eyes and there is nothing you can do to stop it.The overall attitude is one of condoning brotherly camaraderie through an incredibly difficult personal experience, but with suppressed emotions, and where bonded commitment to training supersedes all else. It is a place where display of emotion is taken as a sign that maybe you aren’t tough enough to be there, and actual admittance of having trouble with surgical life means you definitely shouldn’t be there. A place where you put your head down, don’t let feelings get in the way, and do your job.It is also a place where there is muted acceptance of time spent away from your family, and underhanded remarks are made about women and pregnancy. According to a survey conducted by Cliff Straehley, M.D. and Patrizia Longo, Ph.D. for the American Journal of Surgery, over 75 percent of women surgeons experienced gender discrimination in their careers. I’ve spoken to many women surgeons about these topics.There are subtle issues, like surgical instruments and sterile gloves being made to fit a man’s hand. And there are more obvious transgressions. One surgeon told me that when her co-resident became pregnant, her program director said, “This is why we didn’t want to match two girls in the same year. Oh well, we’re stuck with you.”Another was told by a transplant surgeon that women surgeons are only useful in the operating room as organ donors. Yet another told me about her three weeks of maternity leave, considered adequate by her all-male faculty, and the only question they asked of her after delivery is whether or not it was a cesarean section birth, because that could mean longer leave. She was told that she belonged at home with her uterus, not in the OR.We begrudgingly accept this level of misogyny and anti-family sentiment when it’s subtle, constitutive and mixed with praise for being tough. After all, this is surgery. And surgeons are tough.Women surgeons appear to take three distinct approaches to manage this internal conflict to prove their worthiness. She can become “one of the guys,” essentially denying that there is any difference between herself and the male surgeons — hence, she gets treated as gender-neutral. Alternatively, women surgeons can adopt almost a caricature of the traditional female role, seductive and helpless, and the men will consider her a sex object. Lastly, she may feel compelled to prove herself as unquestionably competent at both family and home, which begets praise from others for “having it all.”Many discussed an overall sense that for a woman to be considered as competent as the men, she must show that she’s actually more capable than them. I saw many women, myself included, utilize all three of the above approaches.For me, I struggled the most with the last of these angles. The cost of being in this environment came to a peak when I chose to start my family in the middle of my residency. As a woman in my early 30s, I felt it was a reasonable time to start a family. But I suffered a great deal to balance all of this — to be a good surgeon, wife and mother.When I had children, I felt tremendous guilt about being what I considered tantamount to an absentee mom — and I didn’t feel very tough. I had difficulty reconciling being fully committed to the two things I loved most: surgery and my family.I loved being fully immersed in surgery. Understanding the nature of the ways in which the human body can be altered by infection, inflammation, tumors and trauma is completely engrossing. Being able to reverse those processes in a single day is even more so. It can be all-consuming. And for many surgeons, it is the pursuit of these experiences that gives meaning to their lives.However, the time away from my family was painful, and there was little support or guidance through this process. I rarely saw my children during the last years of residency. I spent far more hours with my patients and my colleagues than I spent with my husband and kids. I left the house before my children woke up and arrived home after they were asleep, which left me feeling empty and depressed — emotions that I stifled at work.During the short months that I breastfed, I used a breast pump in the on-call rooms; most days I did not nurse my children even once. I wasn’t there for my son’s first steps or first words. I missed all of their doctor’s appointments, school events, major milestones. My children would cry when our nanny left for the day, but not for me.My phone was on 24/7, and anything relating to patient care took precedence over everything else, regardless of time, location or company. I dealt with frustration and resentment from my family and friends as surgery became a major priority in my life. I encountered bitter jealousy and spite from a friend, disappointed with her own choices in life, who took her anger out on me.I had internal conflict about talking openly to my peers about the difficulties of balancing work and home, for fear of being accused of having anything less than total commitment to surgery, or being “weak.” Nothing prepared me for these personal challenges, though now I know that I’m not the first to experience them.My struggle was to find guidance and understanding through this process, not to somehow be a simultaneous stay-at-home parent and surgeon. Indeed, there is very little guidance during training, and the misogyny doesn’t help matters. Surgery is a patriarchal field which, by the nature of its demanding schedules and those who pursue it, is neither female- nor family-friendly.In addition, there is a severe paucity of female mentors.There are wage discrepancies, as well as a lack of career advancement and leadership opportunities. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, in 2014 women physicians and surgeons earned only 62 percent of what their male counterparts were paid.Only a handful of women currently hold leadership positions — you can count on two hands the number of female Department Chairs of Surgery in the country. And although research has shown that the overall general surgeryattrition rate of about 20 percent is not higher for women, more women are unhappy and consider quitting due to struggles with work-life balance.It is not sufficient to simply find more women willing to survive in the male-driven world of surgery. Until we recognize that the culture of the surgical institution needs to strive for a more cohesive and balanced environment, women will continue to avoid surgical training, and we will lose competent, intelligent women to other fields. Recognition of stereotyping won’t be enough.Ultimately, my choice to become a surgeon has led me to a fantastic practice and a peaceful life beyond residency, and for that, I am grateful. My growing family has weathered the storm of surgical training, and I’m much more aware of the difficulties facing women surgeons today.I would argue that these challenges did not masculinize me, but rather bolstered my femininity.Still, recognition of these issues and mentorship through them would have helped provide a framework for a better experience. I now try to provide that for women medical students and surgery residents, as they traverse the long and challenging road of life in surgery.The current social media campaign highlighting women scientists and doctors is both exciting and necessary. Now the next steps are to ensure that we provide these women with the opportunities to be sanguine, successful leaders in their fields without sacrificing their needs.Follow Niamey Wilson on Twitter: www.twitter.com/NiameyWilsonIs Surgical Culture Changing?Posted on September 16, 2014As a new generation enters surgery and as the number of women in the field is (slowly) increasing, one could hope that this also changes surgical culture. But does it? Judith Belle Brown and colleagues asked themselves exactly this question and conducted an interview study with academic surgeons.Despite the fact that women still reported more struggles to achieve a good work-life-balance, participants overall noted that surgical culture was indeed changing and that surgeons were no longer expected to devote every waking hour to their jobs. For example, one participant noted: “I think things have changed over the years…I mean surgery in the past has been you just work hard, this is your life, and I think it’s changing a little bit … you are allowed to have a life outside. I think that’s good.”Moreover, participants stated that this change did not only affect attitudes towards work-life-balance in general, but also attitudes towards childcaring responsibilities. One surgeon said: “I think the younger male colleagues, like my generation, it’s a bit different. We’re seeing more and more male surgeons who are doing more stuff at home … and they’re also having to leave early to pick up their kids because their wife is working too… So it’s changing. It’s not like how it used to be, 20 or 30 years ago.”What matters to female and male medical students?Posted on June 24, 2014 by tm336In order to address the under-representation of women in surgery it is important to understand what female medical students deem important in their future careers. Do they value the same things as their male counterparts and just don’t think that they can achieve those goals in a surgical career or are they actually looking for different things in their careers? A study by Nancy Baxter and colleagues suggests that the latter is the case.They sent out a questionnaire to Canadian medical students and found that men and women named different factors as important for choosing their specialty. Women placed more importance on the availability of part-time work and parental leave as well as residency conditions, while men valued technical challenge, prestige and earning potential. As both male and female students agreed that surgeons earn a lot of money but do not have high quality family lives, it is not surprising that of the participants, men were more likely to choose surgery as the specialty they were pursuing or considering to pursue.This study once again highlights two facts: First, it is important to make surgery a career in which family related goals can be achieved by both men and women, and second, the fact that a family and a career in surgery can be combined needs to be communicated effectively to medical students.We are two female Beverly Hills plastic surgeons, sick of seeing crappy breast reconstruction -- huge scars, no nipples, ugly results.Marriage, Children and Happiness at WorkPosted on June 17, 2014 by tm336Work-life-balance or the anticipated and actual lack thereof is a widely cited cause for the under-representation of women in surgery. This is especially true for women who have a family or are planning to have one as women continue to carry most of the weight when it comes to childcare and household chores.A study by Sullivan and colleagues investigates this issue in a large sample of surgical residents in the US. They found that generally married residents and those with children have the highest levels of work satisfaction. However, this difference was driven by male participants. As expected, female residents reported high levels of stress regarding home life as well as finances when they were married or had children.These results once again stress that while creating equal opportunities at work is important, it is not enough to tackle gender inequality. As long as women continue to be responsible for more family related work, it is thus crucial to go beyond that and provide them with opportunities to combine both work and family and still achieve a good work-life-balance.The Impact of Work Hour Restrictions in SurgeryPosted on May 13, 2014 by tm336y is a time demanding job and that is indeed one of the reasons cited by female and male medical students alike of why they are not interested in going into surgery. While many people argue that long work hours are necessary to avoid frequent handoffs of care and loss of information, others point out that long work hours are detrimental for both physical and mental health and can lead to additional errors.A study speaking to this issue comes from the US, where Matthew Hutter and colleagues investigated the effects of mandated restrictions in the work hours of surgical residents. Notably, we are not talking about restrictions that would make their work hours “normal” by any regular-work-person standards. Their work was restricted to 80 hours a week. But even so, they found effects after the changes were implemented including decreased burnout and increased quality of life. However, participants also voiced concerns about reduced quality of care.These issues are of course also important for part-time work, which seems to be an option that many women in surgery would like to opt for. So how can the same benefits be achieved while maintaining a high quality of care for patients?Obstacles for Women in Pediatric SurgeryPosted on April 8, 2014 by tm336Just as any are within surgery, pediatric surgery struggles to recruit women. But what might be some of the barriers women in this field face and how do they influence job satisfaction? In order to investigate this issue, Donna Caniano and colleagues sent out a questionnaire to 95 female pediatric surgeons in the US.They found that, in line with what female medical students might fear, women in pediatric surgery did express a desire to spend more time with their families and more room for personal interests in their lives. This is obviously an important issue which needs to be addressed. Offering part-time work may be an option and about half of participants showed interest in reduced hours. Moreover, about a third of female pediatric surgeons expressed interest in fixed-time schedules. However, women working in academic surgery were concerned that this would interfere with their career.On a more positive note, regardless of these issues most women reported high career satisfaction, perceived their career to be rewarding and would make the same career choice again. Nevertheless, the issues raised above need to be addressed in pediatric surgery, but also in surgery in general.Are Female Doctors With Young Children Less Motivated?Posted on bMarch 11, 2014nnby tm336No. No they aren’t. Although it is often claimed that career motivation suffers from having children – at least for women – a study by Berber Pas and colleagues from the Netherlands finds that this is not necessarily the case. Neither being a mother nor the age of the youngest child significantly predicted career motivation.What did matter, however, was one’s view on motherhood. Those who had more traditional views on what a mother ought to be (e.g. spending most of their time with their children) were less motivated than those who had more modern views on this issue. Moreover, a supportive work environment – especially supervisor’s support for one’s career goals – was beneficial for career motivation of female doctors.This clearly shows that the negative attitude of some employers towards working mothers – or those who might one day become mothers – is quite unwarranted. Instead, it is important to focus on supporting female doctor’s career goals and changing unrealistic expectations of what a “good mother” is.Why Women Prefer Female Plastic SurgeonsThe vast majority of plastic surgery clients are female, both for reconstructive and selective surgical procedures, while most surgeons in the field are male. Not surprisingly, so many women that have been asked to provide feedback or spoken openly about their experiences have indicated that they prefer female plastic surgeons to male surgeons.When it comes to having surgery performed on you, especially selective procedures, you want to be sure you’re entirely comfortable with the individual that is performing the surgery. Adequately in both how they interact and listen to their skill level. These factors are what women point to as being most important to them and making all the difference in the cosmetic surgeon TN they choose.A doctor that you can feel comfortable and open with is a huge reason why woman prefer female plastic surgeons in Nashville tn. Most females are listeners, meaning they are more likely to be able to truly hear and relate to all the concerns that their patients have. This makes women feel confident that they are being heard and their concerns or fears are being addressed fully. No one wants to go into surgery with questions or fears being left unanswered, so having an understanding and an attentive doctor is of vital importance before major procedures begin. Obviously, male plastic surgeons can offer this as well but females have that little added extra relatability as same genders.While most women will look for a surgeon that is female, the skill and access to these plastic surgeons will play a role in their choice. Sometimes the best doctor in the field is not going to be a woman that you are comfortable with. Then you’ll need to make a choice between getting exactly what you want, to what is most important to you. We believe what is truly important is receiving an exceptionally carried out surgery, despite who the surgeon is.If there is a limited access to available woman cosmetic surgeons in Tennessee; alternate options will have to be taken. In a male-dominated industry of plastic surgeons, the fact of finding a local female surgeon that can do the operation for you is in of itself already a luxury.Female Plastic Surgeons Nashville TennesseeMore on Work-Life-Balance in SurgeryPosted on nnJanuary 28, 2014 by tm336Juggling a successful career in surgery and your life outside of work can be challenging. However, it is not impossible. Here is what those working in surgery have to say about their work-life-balance:“My children strike my work-life-balance for me. So the best thing I could have done for a work-life-balance is have a family, so that I know that I have to go home. And as soon as I open that front door, unless there is a major catastrophe at work, it all just completely melts away. And suddenly it’s geography homework or parents evening or I haven’t got anything to wear for Phoebe’s party on Friday and neurosurgery becomes a distant memory until the next day starts.”“What do I enjoy doing? Cooking and having people over for dinner. Being a hostess as well as going out for dinner. And sort of de-stressing by that. I go to the gym, I get whipped into shape by my twin sister and try to go swimming and that sort of thing. I do enjoy spending time with the children and getting dragged to lighthouses and Roman forts by my husband. So I definitely do enjoy the time with the children and the family because it sort of keeps you sane. Work is one thing, but you have to sort of counterbalance that.”“I’m catholic so I’m quite involved with my church and I am part of a couple of groups and we meet monthly, so that is a big part of my life. And I really like singing, particularly in groups, so I’m well known for dragging unwilling people to piano bars in whatever city we’re in for our research.”Gender Equality of Surgeons at HomeDecember 10, 2013 by tm336There are a number of studies about gender differences of surgeons out there – but are there gender differences in surgeons’ spouses? Although we have never asked ourselves this question before, we stumbled across a survey which investigated just this and thought it quite interesting. After all, spousal support is without a doubt an important factor in career satisfaction or life satisfaction more generally.Interestingly, there was no gender difference in percentage of respondents who had children or in number of children. The myth of the childless career woman thus seems to be just that – a myth. There was, however, a gender difference in whether or not spouses had a job outside of the home. While 88% of male spouses worked outside of the home, only 55% of female spouses did so. Both male and female spouses indicated that they would be happier if their spouse worked less. Maybe unsurprisingly female spouses indicated that they carried most of the responsibilities for home and childcare whereas this was not the case for male spouses – and this held true regardless of the working hours of the spouse. This is problematic, as it indicates that female surgeons have an overall higher workload than their male counterparts – and while a number of initiatives aim at improving work conditions for women at work, the differential work load outside of the workplace remains largely unaddressed.Posted in gender equality, Other Research, Speaking to SurgeonsWork-Life-Balance and Burnout in Female and Male Hospital DoctorsPosted on October 7, 2013 by tm336As women continue to carry a larger part of the responsibilities regarding housekeeping and childcare, it is not surprising that they generally find it harder to achieve satisfactory levels of work-life-balance in occupations that are generally associated with long working hours such as medicine. A recent survey study looked at how the perception of hospital doctors’ work-life-balance was related to burnout and intentions to quit their job and how whether this depended on gender.The author found that work-life-balance was the most important predictor of burnout and that support from superiors and co-workers as well as working in a family friendly environment significantly lowered burnout. Interestingly, support from co-workers was the most important factor for female doctors, whereas support from one’s superiors and working in a family friendly work environment was more important for male doctors. Similarly, work-life-balance and support for co-workers were related to female but not male doctors’ intentions to quit, while working on a rota working pattern was predictive of male but not female doctors’ intentions to quit. Overall, women also reported higher levels of burnout.This is interesting, as it shows that reducing burnout and retaining skilled doctors, might be achieved quite differently for men and women. It also shows that the fact that women are still responsible for the majority of domestic tasks is reflected in their higher need for a work-life-balance and that this issue needs to be addressed, both at and outside of the workplace.Some More Advice for Future SurgeonsPosted on August 27, 2013 by tm3363After a positive response to our first post about advice to future surgeons, we have put together another selection of quotes from people working in surgery, which we hope you will find helpful.“You need to be hard-working, dedicated. You don’t need to be particularly academic or into research, you just need to work hard and be prepared to put the hours in. If you are, then you’ll get far. You have to have a balance of work and life and you will have to make sacrifices. If you are prepared to do that, then it will be fine – and it is definitely worth it. I can’t imagine doing anything else and I don’t want to do anything else, so I’m quite happy to make a sacrifice here and there. When you are a more junior trainee, it is a little bit more difficult with the hours that you have to work, but as you get a bit more senior… I’ve found that I have a great work-life-balance. I still go on holidays, I still go out with my friends all the time. I just watch less TV, so I can get my work done during the week and then have fun on the weekends.”“It is not an instant glorification career. It’s a marathon run rather than a sprint. It’s not glamorous on a day-to-day basis like you see portrayed on television, but it is doable and workable and if you are prepared to put in the hard work, it is a very rewarding career to have.”“It is a lifestyle choice, but it is a lifestyle choice I knew I was getting into and I absolutely love it and there is nothing like the buzz you can get when you have done something and you have done it well. So how do you get a good work-life-balance? I think you have to have really understanding friends and really understanding family and you have to be really organized. People say ‘Oh, I bet you don’t get to do very much’, but actually I think I do more because I plan everything meticulously, so in my spare time I actually do something all the time and I am making time for people. I think it is easy. I do have lots of hobbies. If you want to fit stuff in, you just do it.”Stamford Advocate – Female Surgeons Narrowing the Gender Gap
