Abstract
Women thoracic surgeons begin their family later in life and have fewer children compared with the national average. These findings are likely related to the perception that their career would be adversely affected and to advanced maternal age. Residency programs and practice groups should strive to develop policies that support childbearing earlier in training as the number of women thoracic surgeons grows.
