Take part in groundbreaking study on work/life balance for women in health care
The Studer Group launched a groundbreaking study regarding work/life balance among women employed within the health care industry. The study aims to better understand the unique and delicate issues of professional/personal balance facing the 10.7 million women who work in health care and, in turn, to recommend solutions to their employers that are relevant to this complex industry. Public results are anticipated by late 2008.
Visit The Studer Group Web site to find out more and take part in the survey. Please note that this is not an AMA study nor is this study endorsed by the AMA.
