We’re excited to invite you to a unique event focused on family planning for women in medicine who are thinking or planning on having children during their medical career. During the event, you will hear from a panel of women who have successfully balanced their medical careers with having children at various stages of their lives. These doctors will share their personal stories, highlighting the challenges and rewards of having children while pursuing a career in medicine. We also have a speaker from AMA Victoria who will provide guidance on the legal obligations of hospitals regarding maternity leave and accommodations on returning to work. You will have the opportunity to ask questions and engage in discussion with the panel, gaining practical advice and insights on how to make it work for you.
