The literature shows that working nights or on call can lead to pregnancy complications including miscarriage, preterm labor, and preeclampsia. In addition, infant\u2013parent bonding in the postpartum period is crucial for breastfeeding, health, and well\u2010being. No national standards exist for flexible scheduling options for pregnant or new parent residents. Our project objectives are 1) to describe a policy for scheduling pregnant and new parent residents in an emergency medicine (EM) residency and 2) to report pilot outcomes to assess feasibility of implementation, resident satisfaction, and pregnancy outcomes.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>An EM residency task force developed a proposal of scheduling options for pregnant and new parent residents based on best practice recommendations and resident input. The policy included prenatal scheduling options for pregnant residents and postpartum scheduling options for all new resident parents. Resident support for the policy was evaluated via an anonymous survey. It was piloted for 2\u00a0months in an EM residency program.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>Policy development resulted in 1) an opt\u2010out prenatal pregnancy work hour option policy with no nights or call during the first and third trimesters, 2) a 6\u2010week new parent flexible scheduling policy, and 3) clarified sick call options. A majority of residents approved the new policy. During the 2\u2010month pilot period, four residents (of 73 total) utilized the policy. The chief residents reported no added burden in scheduling. Of the residents who utilized the policy, all reported high satisfaction. There were no reported pregnancy or postpartum complications.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title><jats:p>We successfully adopted a new scheduling policy for pregnant residents and new parents in one of the largest EM residency training programs in the country. This policy can serve as a national model for other graduate medical education programs.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1002\/aet2.10504","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,7,12]],"date-time":"2020-07-12T06:15:14Z","timestamp":1594534514000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":21,"title":["Flexible Scheduling Policy for Pregnant and New Parent Residents: A Descriptive Pilot Study"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"5","author":[{"given":"Kimberly A.","family":"Chernoby","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Emergency Medicine Indiana University School of Medicine Indianapolis IN USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Katie E.","family":"Pettit","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Emergency Medicine Indiana University School of Medicine Indianapolis IN USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5375-1244","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jaclyn H.","family":"Jansen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Emergency Medicine Indiana University School of Medicine Indianapolis IN USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Julie L.","family":"Welch","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Emergency Medicine Indiana University School of Medicine Indianapolis IN USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,8,5]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_7_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/ACM.0000000000001006"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_3_1","unstructured":"2018 Fall Applicant Matriculant Data Tables.
