The Woman Physician’s Survival Guide: Thriving From Residency to Retirement is an essential handbook crafted to support and empower women in medicine. Worldwide, women physicians share a collective experience characterized by unique challenges and obstacles. Throughout their careers, many are forced to confront the challenging reality of gender bias in the workplace, lack of representation in leadership roles, microaggressions, harassment, and the gender pay gap, in addition to home responsibilities like raising kids and taking care of the elderly. These challenges underscore the importance of fostering resilience, allowing women physicians to navigate a demanding and sometimes challenging environment while still thriving in their roles.

Having personally overcome many such hurdles has deepened the author’s commitment to empowering other female physicians toward wellness and balance. Dr. Chamoun’s heartfelt and practical guidance to women physicians’ well-being and success should be required reading for all women physicians to thrive, create lasting wellness, and leave a meaningful legacy in medicine.

Armed with knowledge, compassion, and a vision for the future of women in medicine, Dr. Chamoun explores topics ranging from gender dynamics, salary negotiations, and strategies to build wealth to work-life balance, family planning, and self-care.

The author encourages readers to become wellness leaders and engage colleagues, families, and friends in discussing mental health, changing toxic workplaces, and paving the way for a healthier and more fulfilling medical profession.

This book is designed to be a valuable resource for women physicians at all stages of their careers, helping them to thrive, create lasting wellness, and leave a meaningful legacy in medicine. By caring for themselves, women physicians will, in turn, learn to empower their patients to care for themselves.
