Work-life integration and well-being are very important for female surgeons and can be achieved by utilizing strategies to feel at peace in our daily lives, regardless of the setting. There is no one-size-fits-all. While it is truly important that all surgeons reach a place where there is harmony between their work and home life, it should not become another task to accomplish, adding to an otherwise demanding schedule. Work-life integration supports a lifestyle that allows one to feel that neither personal nor professional life is being compromised or neglected, while a distinct division between the two areas is not required. The modern female surgeon should never have to feel that either their personal or professional life is more important than the other, and should be educated on the ways to achieve the necessary balance. Currently, there is very little formal education or curriculum training on these matters, either in medical school or in residency. Raising the need to address these concerns may be seen in a negative light in some arenas. Most surgeons gain knowledge of how to achieve work-life integration mostly by word of mouth from trusted mentors and colleagues, and additionally from national organizations supporting women in the surgical field. The lack of education on how to achieve work-life integration can lead to burnout during one’s surgical career. The way forward is to acknowledge the need for work-life integration as a vital part of cultivating accomplished female surgeons and to prevent the development of burnout.
