This survey study assesses the relationship of perceived work-life conflict with academic medicine faculty intention to leave, reduce employment to part time, or decline leadership opportunities since the COVID-19 pandemic.
Abstract
In this survey study, the perceived stressors associated with work-life integration were higher in women than men, were highest in women with children, and have been exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic. The association of both gender and parenting with increased perceived work-life stress may disproportionately decrease the long-term retention and promotion of junior and midcareer women faculty.
