Hi. I am a female, matched into a great ophtho program, and will be interested in doing a fellowship after, academic career track.
I am interviewing at a few cush transitional programs, but also some hard medicine/surgery ones as back-ups. Is PGY-3 a good year to have a baby? Will this make it harder for me to get a fellowship? Is it crazy to consider having a baby during my PGY-1 year if it is relatively cush (and no one will have to take my call)? It seems that after residency I will be trying to make partner, and that will be a bad time too.
Dr. Doan, I have heard you have two kids so I would love to hear your advice. I am not a super star like you though.....but I do have a supportive spouse.
Much thanks to all.
