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.
