In a meeting for Kosher Physiatry members, Director of Member Engagement Jordan Burkhardt introduced key points, emphasizing AAPMNR's commitment to a respectful and inclusive environment. The session was recorded and available online later. Participants included Dr. Krasna from Johns Hopkins and Evan Zeldin from the University of Cincinnati, among others. The discussion mainly focused on navigating residency while observing Shabbat. Dr. Krasna and Zeldin shared insights on how residents might manage Shabbat observance, such as swapping workdays, understanding program expectations, and addressing these needs during interviews. Theo, a medical student, expressed concerns about maintaining Shabbat during residency, and the conversation highlighted the importance of open communication and finding programs willing to accommodate religious observances. Emphasis was placed on the need for balance and reciprocation in managing religious and professional responsibilities.
