abstract: 'Background: Women physicians face unique obstacles while progressing

  through their careers, navigating career advancement and seeking balance

  between professional and personal responsibilities. Systemic changes,

  along with individual and institutional changes, are needed to overcome

  obstacles perpetuating physician gender inequities. Developing a deeper

  understanding of women physicians'' experiences during important

  transition points could reveal both barriers and opportunities for

  recruitment, retention, and promotion, and inform best practices

  developed based on these experiences.

  Objective: The aim is to learn from the experiences and perspectives of

  women physicians as they transition from early to mid-career, then

  develop best practices that can serve to support women physicians as

  they advance through their careers.

  Methods: Semistructured interviews were conducted with women physicians

  in the United States in 2020 and 2021. Eligibility criteria included

  self-identification as a woman who is in the process of transitioning or

  who recently transitioned from early to mid-career stage. Purposeful

  sampling facilitated identification of participants who represented

  diversity in career pathway, practice setting, specialty, and

  race/ethnicity. Each participant was offered compensation for their

  participation. Interviews were audio-recorded and professionally

  transcribed. Interview questions were open-ended, exploring

  participants'' perceptions of this transition. Qualitative thematic

  analysis will be performed. We will use an open coding and grounded

  theory approach on interview transcripts.

  Results: The Ethics Review Committee of the Faculty of Health, Medicine,

  and Life Sciences at Maastricht University approved the study; Stanford

  University expedited review approved the study; and the University of

  California, San Diego certified the study as exempt from review. Twelve

  in-depth interviews of 50-100 minutes in duration were completed.

  Preliminary analyses indicate one key theme is a tension resulting from

  finite time divided between demands from a physician career and demands

  from family needs. In turn, this results in constant boundary control

  between these life domains that are inextricable and seemingly competing

  against each other within a finite space; family needs impinge on

  planned career goals, if the boundary between them is not carefully

  managed. To remedy this, women sought resources to help them

  redistribute home responsibilities, freeing themselves to have more

  time, especially for children. Women similarly sought resources to help

  with career advancement, although not with regard to time directly, but

  to first address foundational knowledge gaps about career milestones and

  how to achieve them.

  Conclusions: Preliminary results provide initial insights about how

  women identify or activate a career shift and how they marshaled

  resources and support to navigate barriers they faced. Further analyses

  are continuing as of March 2022 and are expected to be completed by June

  2022. The dissemination plan includes peer-reviewed open-access journal

  publication of the results and presentation at the annual meeting of the

  American Medical Association''s Women Physicians Section.'
