This study was designed to better understand how women in academic otolaryngology achieve work\u2010life balance while negotiating family and childrearing commitments, clinical workload, and scholarly activity, as well as to highlight coping strategies and behaviors that women have used to achieve these successes.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Study Design<\/jats:title><jats:p>Qualitative research design.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>Thirteen successful women in academic otolaryngology with children were recruited using a networking\/snowball sampling methodology to participate in a semistructured qualitative interview about the daily process of work\u2010life balance in an academic otolaryngology practice.
