Dr. Krasna, a brain injury rehabilitation physician, spoke about the challenges faced by medical professionals, particularly those observing religious practices, such as Shabbat, during residency or employment. He advised prioritizing transparency with potential programs or employers regarding such commitments and being ready to offer compensatory work schedules, such as working extra during other holidays. Evan Zeldin, associate residency program director, agreed, stressing the importance of reciprocal scheduling. Theo, a medical student, inquired about balancing religious observance with medical training, receiving guidance to seek programs accommodating personal commitments and to discuss these preferences openly during interviews.
