“…balancing demanding medical careers, but also caring for their families…time to celebrate the dedication/resilience...need policies that provide better work-life balance and family support…#disparities are more pronounced in women of color and other intersectional backgrounds…”

Hi #medsky, I’m Vicki, a #physician-scientist in training. As a #firstgen scholar, this journey is immensely meaningful & challenging. My most interesting & loved lifelong projects give my partner & I more citations than one could imagine; “Mama said that…” “Dad told me…” Happy to be here!

I’ve been reflecting a lot on balance as a mother and physician-scientist, & what this will look like as I embark on residency. Today, I came across this wonderful poem, hanging in the hallway near the #pathologists offices. Symbolic in many ways. A lovely read.
