S1E5 Parenting in Medicine Part 2 with Tie and Emma


Listen Later

This topic was too big and too important to not cover in more than one episode! This month, we sat down with Emma and Tie, two second year medical students at Deakin University to talk about how they manage studying medicine with having a family.

We talk about:

👩🏾‍🎓  How being a parent factored into their decision to start medicine later in life

🧬  Where there could be more support for parents in the medical degree

👩🏻‍⚕️  The joys and challenges

🩺  What they attribute to making it work for them

🧠  Differences in age and life stages when going back to uni when you're older

✍🏼  What they hope their little ones will learn from their pursuit to be doctor

As always, feel free to reach out if you have any questions or feedback, and don't forget to rate us on Spotify or apple podcasts!
