Released on February 5, 2026. Episode Transcript Guest Beronda L.

    Battling Burnout and Keeping Women Doctors in Medicine
    Dec 17 2025
    On This Episode Although as many women as men enter medical school, six years after graduating from their residencies, 40 percent of women have either transitioned to part-time or left the profession altogether. Why? The answer is career and life demands that lead to higher burnout rates. In this episode, Ashwini Nadkarni, who coled a seminar on the topic, talks about the ramifications of this—for both doctors and patients—and some potential remedies. Released on December 17, 2025. Episode Transcript Guest Ashwini Nadkarni is a psychiatrist at Brigham and Women’s Hospital—where she is vice chair of faculty enrichment and associate medical director of Brigham Psychiatric Specialties—and a professor at Harvard Medical School. With her colleague John Fromson, Nadkarni led a Radcliffe Exploratory Seminar that addressed burnout among women physicians.
