Hosted by The Triological Society, this webinar will explore the realities of the “sandwich generation” in otolaryngology—surgeons balancing the competing demands of raising children, supporting aging parents, and maintaining busy clinical and academic careers.

Through personal stories and moderated discussion, panelists will share how these responsibilities influence career development, wellbeing, and professional fulfillment. The session will also highlight practical strategies for physicians and their families, while examining ways institutions and workplace culture can better support surgeons throughout their careers.

This webinar is free to attend.
