The Balanced Physician
At The Balanced Physician, we know that residents and fellows place their personal lives on hold to work through the rigors of becoming a physician. We also understand that once they begin their careers, they desire work-life balance in combination with professional success. However, many young physicians’ misaligned work cycles lead to high levels of stress, neglect of personal relationships, decline of personal well being and so much more.
