I am in my 2nd year of medical school and am seriously considering orthopedics as a career. I am getting very mixed opinions from people about being a woman in ortho who wants to have a family because of the amount of time ortho demands. I have even heard that while a woman is pregnant she is not allowed to do surgery. However, very little of my info is coming from orthopedic surgeons, and none from female ortho surgeons. Does any one out there have some advice and/or information about this. Any woman out there that did/are doing ortho and have a family? Would you do it again?
Thanks for all your help!
