She talks about the facets, pace and oftentimes intensive but rewarding tone of her work, how communication with patients has shifted in her practice, and the pros and cons of the introduction of technology. Dr. Boester discusses where we have room for improvement in reproductive healthcare for both doctors and patients and ultimately how balancing and remembering her true calling keeps her grounded in her personal life and as an MD.
