BONUS Episode: A System not Designed for This
In this bonus episode, the host, Amanda Quijano and her guest Vicky discuss how difficult it is to build supportive systems within an existing system that was not designed to meet the needs of family planning, maternity leave, and pregnant trainees. They use their experiences as not just physician parents, but also chief residents, to highlight the lack of structural support and the absence of a unifying body to define what policies should exist or what systems can be created to provide consistent flexibility and support for physician parents in training.
