Well said @drcandycecheng. Supervisors have to be aware not to impose our own biases but be trainee-centred. As we embrace diversity in other aspects of surgery so we should in parenthood in training - and individualise & support each one. @AstecAustin @RACSurgeons @AustinAspire
Normalise pregnancy in any stage of medical career, respect both birthing, non birthing parents' right to have leave to care for the new family, and respect physical changes that come along with pregnancy and breastfeeding are where the changes need to be.
