Back to Healio Key takeaways: Mahsaw Mansoor, MD, explains her decision to pursue a second fellowship. Work-life balance is important, but a \u201cseason of intensity\u201d can propel professional growth. An unconventional, nonstandard career path in ophthalmology can result in a unique skill set and stronger doctors. In this episode of Steeped Insights, a video blog series produced by Women in Ophthalmology and Healio, host Karen Chen, MD, of Permanente Medical Group, and cohost Cynthia A. Bradford, MD, formerly of Dean McGee Eye Institute, sat down with Mahsaw Mansoor, MD, Masket Foundation fellow at Advanced Vision Care. Over a cup of tea, the physicians discussed how Mansoor\u2019s decision to pursue a second fellowship gave her more clarity on what she wanted out of her career.

\u201cI always knew that something was missing for me,\u201d Mansoor said. \u201cMy niche, I hope, will be the management of uveitic patients in a more holistic fashion. … I knew I needed more training. For anyone who is considering two [fellowships], I would say that you should do it but do it with intention. I knew what was going to come of this fellowship and how it would actually add a distinct set of skills to what I had already gone through.\u201d The discussion also highlighted the importance of being a team player and knowing when to pass an opportunity on to someone else. \u201cYou don\u2019t want to be the person who always gets the free jobs,\u201d Bradford said. \u201cAnytime I do something, I try to think, \u2018What can I get out of this? What can I make better here?\u2019\u201d While striving for proper work-life balance is essential for a sustainable career in medicine, sometimes professional growth requires a bit of imbalance, according to Mansoor. \u201cIt\u2019s OK to have a deliberate season of intensity, but it\u2019s not a permanent thing,\u201d she said. \u201cYou can have purposeful imbalance for learning, building and creating relationships. Even if it\u2019s busy, that\u2019s sustainable.\u201d For more information: Cynthia A. Bradford, MD, can be reached at cabradfor@gmail.com.
