Bienvenue
This website was created for Canadian physicians, especially learners, to highlight useful information you may need about family planning in a medical career
Par où commencer ?
Nous comprenons que la planification familiale dans le cadre d'une carrière médicale puisse être source d'inquiétude. Il peut être difficile de savoir à qui s'adresser ni par où commencer. Nous espérons vous apporter le soutien dont vous avez besoin. Consultez nos ressources ci-dessous.
Médecine et fertilité
The ability to have genetically-related children is very dependent on a female's age. Male age may also be important. We have included some important information about fertility that may help inform your planning.
Étapes de la formation
Fonder une famille peut prendre différentes formes selon votre niveau de formation. Découvrez quelques avantages et points à prendre en compte, basés sur les conseils de nombreux autres médecins.
Considérations financières
Découvrez le coût d'un enfant, votre salaire en tant que stagiaire et votre salaire en tant que salarié. Vous trouverez également des informations sur la garde d'enfants et les coûts des traitements de fertilité.
Inclusivity
The information in this website is applicable to Canadian medical students, residents and fellows.
We recognize that medical trainees have diverse gender identities and have made a conscious effort to use gender-inclusive language. If the word "woman" is used, we are intending to describe individuals whose sex assigned at birth was female. For consistency purposes, we have kept some language as is described by the organization we have referred to (i.e. "maternity" leave is the term used by the Canadian government, but refers to leave for the birthing parent). We are committed to updating this language as is appropriate to make sure everyone feels seen and included.
We also recognize that medical trainees from all gender identities may want to be or can be parents. There is research surrounding the experience of females in medicine, but there is a lot less research surrounding parents in medicine as a whole. Our goal is to support all medical trainees, regardless of gender.
