A Medical Career and a Family. We Help You Enjoy Both.
The Physician Parent
As you may have experienced, medical institutions are often not the most understanding, or enlightened, when it comes to dealing with physicians who are passionate about their careers and equally passionate about raising their children.
The focal point of balancing work and family life is child care, which studies have shown to be the mom’s primary responsibility.
An August 2009 Canadian study, “Physicians as parents: Presenting experiences of physicians in Newfoundland and Labrador,” states that “Although the percentage of women in the medical profession is increasing, the challenges women face have not really changed in the past 30 years.”
When You Need Help to Protect and Further Your Career
As the former institutional chief legal officer for the University of Rochester and its Medical Center, Case Western Reserve University and Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center, Ms. Arden Ornt understands how medical centers operate. She helps working physician-parents negotiate the best employment agreements, resolve separation, termination or license matters, and navigate the politics inevitable in any large institution.
​
After nearly thirty years working at the most senior levels in three academic medical centers (or universities with medical schools), she understands that the most important—and overburdened—members of the health system are you, the physicians.
​
And no one is more burdened than physician-parents trying to be the best at work and at home.
​
Working with physicians since the initial wave of over-regulation in the late-1980’s has inspired her to help you understand and conquer the challenges in today’s environment of health reform, cost-cutting and “doing more with less.”
​
Whether you have questions regarding an employment agreement ... you're concerned about a peer review ... you're worried about a governmental investigation ... or you feel you are the target of unlawful discrimination ... Jeanine has your back.
​
Quite simply, her goal is to help you have a more secure and satisfying career.
