Professional activity and experience after a residency training program in ObGyn: A 10-year analysis [link]Paper  doi  abstract   bibtex   
Objective: To describe the profile and professional trajectory of the obstetrics and gynecology (ObGyn) graduates over the past decade, at a referral university hospital. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted, utilizing a survey that targeted graduates of the ObGyn residency program from the last decade, asking about demographics, medical undergraduate, residency details, post-residency trajectory, satisfaction levels, and social media usage. A descriptive analysis was performed. Comparative analyses, including gender-based differences, were assessed using chi-squared or Fisher exact tests (P \textless 0.05). Results: Among 126 graduates, 84 agreed to participate (66.67%), predominantly comprising females with an average age of 33 years. Most identified themselves as white. The majority had pursued their undergraduate studies at the same institution (78.6%) and subsequently acquired specialized titles in ObGyn from the national society. Most of them were employed in both public and private sectors (71.08%). Male graduates held the majority of medical shifts in obstetrics. A significant gender-based salary discrepancy was noted, favoring males. More than half of the professionals utilized social media for work-related purposes. Many expressed the necessity for supplementary education beyond public health, particularly career management. Conclusion: The findings highlight a predominance of female and white individuals among the graduates. Overall, graduates expressed contentment with their education and professional engagements. A gender-based income disparity was identified, favoring male graduates. Studies like this can provide insights for improving medical residency education.
