The Challenging Balance of Being a Physician in Training, a Public Health Graduate Student, and Having a Life – A Commentary

Authors

Karina A. Atwell

Abstract

Being a successful resident physician and graduate student is challenged by many competing life forces. In this paper I comment on these challenges and offer some thoughts on finding a work-life balance that is suitable for me. Keys to this balance include time management, flexibility, self-care, and frequent reflection of goals and priorities. Whereas they are demanding, the challenges of this balance also keep life vibrant and rewarding.
