Episode 48: Can I Be A Doctor AND Have A Family?

One of the most common questions we hear from high school and college students considering a career in medicine is, “Is it possible to be a doctor and have a family?” We get it. We worried about this too when we were younger!

In this episode, we help break this common question down by discussing a few others, including: (1) What is it like being a parent and a doctor? (2) Are you able to do the normal parent activities that non-doctor parents do? (3) Who takes care of the kids? (4) When is the ideal time to have kids? (5) What are the biggest challenges of being a parent and a doctor?
