Elizabeth Landry founded The Med Commons to help physician spouses and partners navigate life in the world of medicine. It can be lonely and isolating at times. Nonmedical friends may not understand the burdens placed on the partner who is trying to hold the family together when the physician partner is working 80 hours per week. They may think the physician family is so lucky when really they are saddled with $350,000 in debt and are juggling money to pay bills during residency. 

Elizabeth is trying to bring physician families together so they have community. She is working with residency programs to incorporate physician spouse/partner programs into their wellness programs as family happiness equates to physician happiness, which can help with overall satisfaction, recruiting and retention. 

She even has a friending app to help people find others within 50 miles who may understand and be navigating a similar pathway so they can connect. You can learn more at www.TheMedCommons.com. You can also find them on Instagram.
