Women in Medicine: The Gendered Divide in Finding Work-Life Balance (S6:E48)

The important but ever-elusive goal of work-life balance is still more out of reach for women than men. Studies of home workloads for physicians indicate that the bulk of the nonprofessional work at home still falls to women. As a result, female physicians experience more work-family conflict than their male counterparts. This dynamic can lead to decreased job satisfaction, fewer women seeking professional advancement and increased burnout. In this episode, we talk with Children's Hospital Colorado experts about their research in the area of work-life balance for female interventional radiologists.

Guests:

Jenny Zablah Alabi, MD, an associate professor of pediatrics and interventional cardiology at the University of Colorado School of Medicine, and a pediatric cardiologist at Children's Colorado.

Natalie Soszyn, MD, a second-year fellow in interventional cardiology at Children's Colorado.
