However, there are some challenges specific to medicine, Dr. Ishani Ganguli, one of the study's authors, says. Women tend to spend more time with their patients, for example, which can translate to less take-home pay, since doctors are typically paid for the number of visits or procedures they complete, Ganguli points out.
Dr. Terri Malcolm recalls the "overwhelming stress" of working as an obstetrician and gynecologist in Scottsdale, Arizona, while pregnant with twins. When she requested time off right before her due date and eight weeks of maternity leave, she says, "I had to fight to be fairly compensated." Malcolm is also an associate program director at the American Medical Women's Association.
