Abstract

The objective of this study was to examine the childbirth and parental leave policies for physicians at children's hospitals. We obtained institutional policies from 15 hospitals in 2021. The median duration of full salaried leave was 8 weeks (range, 2-12 weeks). Leave policies vary widely among US children's hospitals.
