[podcast src=”https://html5-player.libsyn.com/embed/episode/id/6405453/height/90/theme/custom/autoplay/no/autonext/no/thumbnail/yes/preload/no/no_addthis/no/direction/forward/render-playlist/no/custom-color/88AA3C/” height=”90″ width=”450″]

The epidemic of residents, specifically women residents, not thinking they have options has to end. That will end with: increased conversation, increased connectedness, paying attention to one another, reminding [each other] we have options, understanding this is an investment in the future, [and] understanding if we reach out it’s not a weakness. It is gut wrenching, to watch our younger selves feel powerless. We wont have it!

Get ready to learn from this high energy conversation with  inspirational Dara Kass MD (@darakass) the founder of FemInEM (@FeminEMTweets).

As described on the Feminem.org website: “Dara Kass, MD is the founder of FemInEM.
