Men and Women Pursue Nonlinear Career Paths, but Impacts Differ: a Cross-Sectional Study of Academic Hospitalists.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Nonlinear career paths are increasingly common. Women in academia pursuing nonlinear career paths experience negative impacts on career trajectory. No published studies have examined how pursuit of nonlinear career paths might perpetuate gender inequities within academic hospital medicine.

Objective

Design, setting, and participants

Cross-sectional descriptive survey study of adult hospitalist physicians in three academic centers within the USA.
