AB  - While women are entering family medicine at higher rates than men, little is known about the present differences in practice patterns between male and female family physicians (FPs). We used 2017 and 2018 American Board of Family Medicine Family Medicine Certification Examination practice demographic questionnaires to assess average weekly total hours and direct patient care hours by age and gender reported by FPs. We found a gender gap between both overall hours worked and direct patient care hours, with female FPs reporting fewer hours across age groups.
