Abstract
Policies for maternity and parenting leave in physician training programs are often lacking or inadequate. A structured elective in mother-child development has been developed by the University of Kentucky Department of Family Practice Residency Program in an attempt to provide a practical alternative for the resident-in-training who is a new parent. The course provides for the integration of personal and professional activities into an educationally beneficial experience. The new course meets the requirements of both the American Board of Family Practice and the Residency Review Committee. The first participants in the elective course have been extremely positive about its merit.
