Who We Are

We are a group of physicians and physicians-to-be based out of the University of Toronto Temerty Faculty of Medicine who are passionate about providing medical trainees with the tools they need to build their families as they want to.

Having children in a Medical Career is HARD 

Our research projects and personal experiences have led us to the creation of this website as we try to promote information sharing and work towards breaking down the taboo around family building in medicine. We have curated this website based on suggestions from medical trainees through our qualitative interview and physician surveys.
