Dr. Shikha Jain, a board-certified hematologist-oncologist and founder of Women in Medicine, dives into the systemic issues plaguing female physicians in a male-dominated healthcare environment. She highlights how the current system undervalues essential invisible labor and pushes women into uncompensated roles. Shikha argues that physician burnout stems from systemic failures rather than individual shortcomings. The discussion includes actionable insights for establishing boundaries, recognizing the value of caregiving, and advocating for gender equity to enhance patient outcomes.
