From passion to practice: clinician teachers' insights on family medicine obstetrical care.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Background: Declining numbers of family physicians (FPs) provide obstetrical care-an essential service. Exploring reasons why current family medicine obstetrics (FM-OB) clinician teachers chose this field and what motivates them to continue may inform retention strategies and inspire future family medicine learners. Our objective was to explore perspectives of academic FPs who practice FM-OB with the goal of increasing recruitment of future FM-OB practitioners and retention of those currently practicing FM-OB. Methods: Academic FP clinician teachers from three urban multidisciplinary Canadian centers who currently practice FM-OB and deliver at one hospital participated in 60-minute, semi-structured interviews. Questions explored participant experiences providing FM-OB care. Interviews were audio-recorded, transcribed and analyzed using a constant comparison method of descriptive thematic analysis. Results: There were 10 participants. The data revealed an overarching theme highlighting three key influences on the decision to start and continue practicing FM-OB: 1) Individual; 2) Interpersonal, and 3) Systemic influences. Early experiences with positive feedback, hands-on skills, and positive role models shaped their decisions to start. The joy derived from this work, mentorship, patient relationships, and a supportive environment fueled their commitment to continue practicing. Conclusion: This study highlights the importance of early learning experiences, effective role models, and supportive systemic factors in encouraging trainees to practice FM-OB and retaining FPs in this field. By also identifying the sources of joy in FM-OB and promoting work-life balance, these findings can help inform programs to retain FM-OB providers and inspire future family medicine learners.
