Career Development

[By Ann Miller RN MHA]

There is a new, two year old, website called Women Leaving Medicine. It was founded by Dr. Philippa Kennealy, a work-from-home physician business person, mom and fierce physician advocate. She is also a colleague from http://www.entrepreneurialmd.com

According to her WLM website, she is deeply troubled by the disillusionment and disengagement many physicians experience, and the impact on the future of healthcare. She is equally distressed by the difficulties women physicians face when balancing the demands of families and professional responsibilities.

WLM Beliefs

WLM  believes that:

  • Slowing the Physician Brain Drain is vital to the well-being of our society
  • Women physicians have the right to nurture their families to the extent they desire
  • Women leaving medicine represent a great wealth of training and experience that must be tapped, to continue to benefit society.

The Challenge

Dr. Kennealy challenges all Women Leaving Medicine to consider the following:

  • You are too valuable to society to “go to waste”
  • Success does not demand the sacrifice of your loved ones
  • You can nurture your family and continue to change the world
  • It’s up to you to craft your personal and professional journeys, as you would a Work of Art
  • Crafting your Well-Lived Life takes imagination, boldness and creativity, along with all of those amazing physician “smarts” of yours

Assessment

Dr. Kennealy knows that stay-at-home women physicians want to still contribute meaningfully to others, and lack the right opportunities. She is inspired to be part of the solution to our healthcare crisis.
