22. Advocacy, COVID pregnancy, identity shift, and career choices with Dr. Alli Letica
Description
"Having any sort of mental or physical health problem doing this job makes it almost impossible...it makes you realize you don't know what other people are going through and I think it reminds us to give everyone some grace."
This episode is with Dr. Alli Letica, a general surgery resident at Massachusetts General Hospital. We discuss:
- Being furloughed during the COVID pandemic while she was pregnant
- Writing an article advocating for normalizing childbearing during surgical training
- Recovering physically from pregnancy and childbirth while getting back to doing surgery
- Her identity shift with becoming a mom
- How she made changes to her career choices after becoming a mom and how she views that
