Gender disparities in career attrition for emergency physicians

A study led by Yale School of Medicine finds widespread gender disparities in workforce attrition for doctors working in Emergency Departments (ED).

Researchers found female doctors more likely to change careers than male counterparts. For ED doctors who exhibited attrition, women left the job on average 7 years earlier than men. Researchers say addressing workforce disparities will help ensure stability and diversity in emergency departments.
