PetalMD Partners with the Federation of Medical Women of Canada

Nov. 30, 2015 - PRLog -- PetalMD has partnered with the FMWC in order to work together to improve work-life balance for physicians.

PETALMD’S PARTNERSHIP WITH THE FMWC

In the common effort to help the personal and professional advancement of women physicians, PetalMD has partnered with the FMWC. PetalMD is committed to helping physicians take control of their time so they can focus on their patients.

As an effective scheduling tool, PetalMD can support the FMWC’s work by helping women physicians achieve better work-life balance. Helping them manage their schedules and communication efforts will allow them to be more efficient and gain precious time.

WHY THE PARTNERSHIP MAKES SENSE

Work-life Balance: as the partnership’s common goal, this will allow women physicians to have access to solutions and strategies to live a more balanced life.

Time-savings: with a scheduling tool that allows for better efficiency at the individual and group level, women physicians will have more time to focus on their personal and professional lives.

Communications: access to secure messaging allows FMWC members to increase the effectiveness of their communication efforts with their colleagues. PetalMD’s platform also allows access to CME and direct communications from the FMWC.

FIRST INITIATIVE: WORK-LIFE BALANCE SURVEY

The first project put forth by the partnership consists of a survey to document how physician women go about balancing their work and personal lives. The results will lead to a best-practice document, providing physicians with alternatives and solutions to everyday work-life balance struggles.

The partnership was announced at the FMWC General Meeting in Toronto, where PetalMD presented a recurrent and increasingly present issue: physician burnout.
