The article by Weiss et al1 in the July 1998 issue of the ARCHIVES articulates an important area of discussion for pediatric residency training programs. Pediatrics as a discipline includes, within its professional organization's stated mission, advocacy for children, pediatricians, and families. The authors contend that children's hospitals provide no better parental leave benefits (defined both as maternity/paternity leave and adoption leave) than those offered at Fortune 500 companies, although they point out that hospitals provide more child care and support systems for breast-feeding mothers. They had hypothesized that a children's hospital would be more likely to be cognizant of such issues, given its pediatric thrust.
