Patterns of life after graduation.
The integration of work and family life is problematic for many doctors. Most of us received little help in resolving the relevant issues during our own formal education. This paper describes a series of informal meetings which were organized for the fifth-year medical students to provide information about possible patterns of work, and to encourage discussion and comment. Areas of particular concern turned out to be postgraduate training, parenting, and the dual-career family. The project was only partly successful.
