The increasing number of women in medicine, particularly in the field of urology, raises questions about the compatibility of family and career, especially concerning the work environment and working time models.
Objective: The aim of this study is to capture the impact of motherhood on the professional lives of female physicians and scientists in the field of urology in Germany.
Article Synopsis
- Female urologists in Germany face underrepresentation in leadership roles, influenced by factors like family responsibilities and part-time work options.
- A survey conducted among 1,343 members of the German Society of Urology revealed that a significant number of female urologists work part-time, especially those with children, while most doctors in training are more likely to work full-time.
- The study highlights the importance of addressing the unique challenges female urologists face to encourage retention and support as the healthcare workforce declines.

A postdoctoral lecture qualification (habilitation), which is mandatory for a successful scientific career, is achieved significantly less often by female urologists in Germany than by their male colleagues.
Objective: To identify factors to effectively promote female urologists into academic leadership positions, the current situation, as well as factors influencing successful habilitation of women who are members of the German Society of Urology (Deutsche Gesellschaft für Urologie [DGU]) were investigated.
