Dr. Margy Pohl is an Orthopaedic surgeon in Northland and currently Clinical Director of their Orthopaedic Department. Margy manages to combine working in private and public capacities with raising her 2 home schooled teenage boys and maintaining some semblance of lifestyle balance and sanity. Margy is passionate about increasing the number of females in Orthopaedics and breaking down some of the perceived barriers. She is the founder and past Chair of LIONZ (Ladies in Orthopaedics New Zealand) and remains involved with the New Zealand Orthopaedic Association's Specialty Training Board and Diversity Committee.
In this episode, we discuss her journey into orthopaedics, navigating a divorce with an orthopaedic surgeon while trying to get into training, myth-busting common sexist pre-conceptions about orthopaedics, challenges to women in a white male dominated specialty, and her work with LIONZ.
