The psychiatric chief resident: does gender make a difference?

Published Online:https://doi.org/10.1176/ajp.139.12.1610

Men and women reported remarkably similar job descriptions, opportunities, and difficulties. Women were less likely than men to participate in research activities during the chief residency or to accept full-time faculty positions after training.
