Abstract

Physicians who are also parents have faced significant difficulties during the COVID-19 pandemic. However, most studies of the physician-parent workforce have focused on the experiences of attending physicians. In this commentary, we highlight the ways that trainee parents have uniquely experienced three major stressors during the pandemic: (1) childcare challenges, (2) scheduling difficulties, and (3) career uncertainties. We discuss potential solutions to mitigate these challenges for the future hematology/oncology workforce. As the pandemic continues, we hope that these steps can improve the ability of trainee parents to care both for their patients and their families.
