My wife's friend was interviewed recently for a position in a plastic surgery fellowship.
In the interview it was first asked what it was like being an asian woman in surgery. Later it was brought up that she was married and had a kid and that she took 6 weeks off for maternity for her child while in residency. At some point, in general reference to these items/reasons it was mentioned that she would likely would have a hard time being accepted into the program being interviewed for.
Pretty sure some laws were broken here. Am I wrong?
Outside of these "negatives" she is hard working, easy to get along with, and scored the highest on their year-end exam two years in a row.
I say if she had recorded this interview on tape and took it to the CEO of the hospital she might be considered to have a "guaranteed" spot.
