Physicians as Humans Podcast E04: A break for parenthood

In Physicians as Humans, Podcast by Niresha Velmurugiah1 Comment

In the fourth episode of the Physicians as Humans project, I speak with Dr. Kevin Dueck, a family medicine resident at McMaster, about his decision to take parental leave during residency. Also check out the blog post that led to this podcast and his personal blog!
