description Appropriate parental leave policies remain an unmet need in graduate medical education. Although legal and institutional guidelines allow for policies that support parental leave, there are many challenges and perceived barriers to consider in developing and implementing a successful policy. In 2018, we revised the parental leave policy for our neurology residency. Here we describe the development of our policy, measure its effects, and offer guidelines for other programs to develop a similar approach. We propose solutions to commonly encountered problems, focusing on training and education, staffing of clinical services, evolving legal requirements, resident well-being and equity, and financial support.
