<p>As a female who wants to raise a family in the future, I wanted to know if it was possible to work as a surgeon (not sure which kind) part time.</p>
<p>No problem. I know a female neurosurgeon who works part time to raise her 5 year old. Medicine, I believe, is becoming quite a flexible career for people who needs to have a reasonable schedule to make time for their family. If you find surgery to be your calling, then go for it! Good luck.</p>
