The site includes 90 followers, both internal and external, and an ever increasing number of “clicks” per link. Career and Family Network The OFD sponsors a luncheon series, an innovative model developed and hosted by Drs. Jenifer Lightdale and Lydia Shrier, for faculty balancing family life and a career in academic medicine. Drs. Shrier and Lightdale extend their invitation to all faculty who are parenting or have other competing family and career concerns
