In this episode, we sit down with Amaka Nnamani, a pediatrician who shares her powerful story of starting her residency while four months pregnant. Amaka discusses the unique challenges she faced balancing her medical training with motherhood, the shortcomings of maternal leave policies in the United States, and the broader implications for women in medicine. Join us as we explore the disparities in paid maternal leave, the lessons the U.S. can learn from other countries, and the long-term impact of these policies on both health care professionals and society at large.
Amaka Nnamani is a pediatrician.
She discusses the KevinMD article, “It’s time to pass federally mandated paid parental leave.”
