- What does a day as the physician in the kitchen look like? Who do you serve? What problem do you solve?
- Define healthy eating and why it’s important for women physicians to pay attention to our eating habits especially during times of stress?
- Define for us what self-care means to you and what self-care looks like when it comes to women in leadership in healthcare especially those on the front lines during this pandemic?
- When we look at the pandemic and how the lid has been lifted and exposed healthcare disparities, how would the ability for women to be able to care for themselves and their families with healthy eating help reduce those disparities and improve care?
