  • Ep. 14: Parental Leave During Training & Its Consequences

    Hello one and all to episode 14.


    In a slight deviation from our usual format we take a deep dive into parental leave practices during medical training with Dr. Rebeca Ortiz Worthington. We use Rebeca's article in Academic Medicine as a launching pad from which to explore how childbearing during training affects the medical trainees choosing to parent and the wider medical community.

    You can read the article co-authored by Rebeca, Lauren D Feld & Anna Volerman here:
    "Supporting New Physicians and New Parents: A Call to Create a Standard Parental Leave Policy for Residents"
