Being a gynecologist oncologist is a demanding and rewarding endeavor, involving a great deal of personal sacrifice that often affects our partners and children. The hours/years involved with training and the unpredictable lifestyle oftentimes make it difficult to maintain a “work-life balance.” It has been well documented that work/home conflicts are a strong contributor to physician burnout. Consequently, addressing systemic barriers and institutional culture that contribute to work/home conflicts is paramount.

This webinar features a panel of Gynecologic Oncologists with multiple perspectives regarding pregnancy and parenting. Please join us in listening to the discussants review systemic barriers, cultural barriers, and brainstorm how to better support working Gyn Onc parents!
