He was at Cornell and I was at the We got married my fourth year of residency, and we had our first kid our chief year while we were still apart. So when we were actually thinking about jobs and next steps, we were already married and a family, and we weren't even living together yet. So we were trying to think, where are we going to go? What kind of a job do we want?

And as we started interviewing different places, you're looking at contracts, and you're thinking of things that are really important to you and as a couple. Were there specific things that you guys thought about as a couple when y'all were selecting jobs?

like specifically things that maybe other dual physician couples should think about as special considerations when you're doing contract negotiation or other things like that? Or was it really just kind of finding that right fit for you guys?

You both bring up such good points, especially about communication. On our last, my third child, when we were in, we were already both attending the Indiana University, the maternity policy was I could take up to 12 weeks and I chose to take 10. And if I could give any advice back to anyone, I would say take the full 12 weeks because you never get that time back.

And, you know, I couldn't do that when I was in residency or fellowship. I took Five weeks off after a C-section when I was in residency. I took six weeks when I was after a C-section in fellowship and had to have a third C-section, good figure, and I took 10 weeks. And if I could do anything different, I would have taken 12 weeks because I think that time is so important.

And Peter, to your point, my husband, our policy was that you could have paternity leave for one month. So Aaron thought, well, I'm going to split it up and I'm going to take one week when you first have the baby and then we'll wait a few weeks so that you get settled because we'll have family over. And then I'll take the other three weeks when they all leave.

And so he goes and takes the first week and then found out that it all had to be consecutive and together. And so he never got to take the three weeks. And that was just a communication, right? We didn't clarify when you looked at the four weeks that it all had to be taken together and all at once. So it's definitely, definitely important to talk about these things. And
