It is interesting to me to see how my own answers have changed given my circumstances. It is probably the only time during the year when I reflect on my life and the fact that my work-life balance hasn't improved. To see it on the computer screen helps. I know I should play tennis and make an effort to see friends but I worry that it takes away time from my family” -Current PLACES participant; Subspecialist “PLACES has been a wonderful way of inspiring young pediatricians to think about the personal and professional life balance.” -Current PLACES participant; General Pediatrician “Thank you for doing this massive project.
