Abstract: In this study, I examine whether there is an increase in the tendency of physicians to quit working at hospitals, using panel data generated from physician notification forms. I define the hospital work continuation rate as the ratio of physicians who continue to work at hospitals for a certain period since their registration and calculate the hospital work continuation rate by year of registration cohort. I find that, for both male and female physicians the continuation rate tends to be higher in later cohorts. The continuation rate for males is significantly higher than that for females in the same cohort of physicians, showing that women quit working at hospitals earlier than men. However, the continuation rate for males and females in total shows an upward trend, indicating that the increase in the number of female physicians does not make physicians quit working at hospitals earlier.
