Today we are going to continue our career based podcast discussions and dive into the world of trauma surgery.  To help put this into better perspective, we asked Dr. Stephanie Lueckel, MD to join us on the podcast today. Dr Lueckel is an associate professor of surgery here at Brown and one of our trauma/critical care surgeons. She is also a wife and mother of 3 children.  I thought she would be a great guest to have on the podcast to explore some of the finer details about why she chose a career in trauma critical care, what a day in her life looks like, what residents should be looking for in a fellowship program, and to find out if work-life balance actually exists.
