There is also a 2-6 year RMO/JMO period after med school and intern year (5 not 4) to get enough experience in order to "beat" the other applicants for the 30-40 spots in the country to get a place in the program. There is usually a time limit from start to finish that if you go over - thats it. Many of these programs have a mandate to have a certain number of FTE people in the system at any one time but they also have a cap on the number of people. So if 50% have been on maternity leave during their training then the organisation will not have met their service requirements and therefore they will have their funds reduced. As such their may be selection pressure to choose some people into the cohort who are unlikely to need/require materinary leave. The point to remember here - is that the training costs to create a qualified OBGYN is around 500-600K and so the government must choose where to put these funds wisely.
