There is time for life outside of residency. My wife started residency with a 5 month old and had another child half way through, this delayed her graduation a total of 4 weeks.

Good work supporting her. I'm sure that played a large factor. I suspect a single mom would have a much tougher time.

While that's very encouraging to hear, that depends wildly on what program and specialty you are in. West coast vs East Coast plays a role too.

Peds/OBGYN/IM/Derm and most female dominated specialties you see this.

Neurosurgery, Ortho, Gen surg, etc not so much.
