Hello friends 👋
This week we have the pleasure of hosting three incredible neonatologists who authored an important op-ed published in August of 2022. This article (link below) focused on the current work model in neonatology and the impact it is having on our workforce and, just as importantly, on the future of our field. Daphna and I feel truly honored to host this group of talented physicians to discuss such a crucial topic. We hope you enjoy this episode. Have a good Sunday!
