Claire and Kate will share data and stories regarding women with children in the field of Orthotics and Prosthetics. The data and stories were collected from a distributed survey and from interviews conducted with various women from the field of O & P within the past year. We will discuss different work-related pregnancy experiences and solutions women in the field have used to balance work and family life.   This presentation will highlight relevant results from the survey and provide helpful insights regarding working mothers in the field of O & P. Originally scheduled for the Össur Women's Leadership Conference, this will be presented now in webinar form.
