Being a young female endocrinologist and a new mother brings its own challenges. As much as an understanding family helped me deal with the myriad of things at home, equally understanding colleagues and the huge network of endocrine fraternity provided me the much-needed support professionally. From helping me juggle my responsibilities, to answering all my questions about complex endocrine disorders, the close-knit endocrine fraternity in India has been my greatest source of strength. I am sure my story and experiences will inspire many more women to be part of this wonderful fraternity.
成为一名年轻的女内分泌学家和一位新手妈妈带来了诸多挑战。一个善解人意的家庭极大地帮助我应对家中的各种事务,同样,善解人意的同事以及庞大的内分泌学界网络也在职业上给予了我急需的支持。从帮我兼顾各种责任,到解答我关于复杂内分泌疾病的所有问题,印度紧密团结的内分泌学界一直是我最大的力量源泉。我相信我的故事和经历会激励更多女性加入这个出色的团体。
