Are you a resident or fellow MD in Ontario? Have you considered how training has impacted your family planning? Please share your experience! You do NOT have to have started your family to participate & you can win a $20 gift card! https://t.co/Uaf3HZbuKA @McMasterOBGYN

[Catherine Friedman (she/her) @Cath_Friedman]

Very impressive & topical research in JAMA Surgery - med students consider family planning when selecting specialty, & recognize in their early careers that it is a taboo topic. The hidden curriculum is real and I remember having all of these thoughts not too long ago...

[Shirin Dason @dason_shirin]

There is a hidden curriculum in medicine discouraging learners from family planning/building - read our research just published in @JAMASurgery

It is #GeneticCounsellorAwarenessday! I am lucky to return from maternity leave to work with the GCs at @StMichaelsFdn for a prenatal genetics elective. Observing the unique breadth of knowledge and counselling expertise of the GCs here has been a great learning experience!

@seeingaway Thank you!!

[Catherine Friedman (she/her) @Cath_Friedman]

2022 brought me the best gift - becoming a parent, and a mother. Going through pregnancy, labour, birth, and the trials of breastfeeding will make me a better doctor in 2023. For now, I am soaking up the last bits of study-free maternity leave before Royal College prep begins 😊

[Catherine Friedman (she/her) @Cath_Friedman]

@giulianaguarna You are most definitely fit! Because you are committed & dedicated!!
