#0034: Dara Kass on being likable, choosing your battles + carrying the mental load

Dara has been a leader at various levels in the Emergency Medicine Education ecosystem for many years and works at NYU Langone Medical Center in NYC. Recently, she turned her focus to achieving gender equity in Emergency Medicine through a primarily online resource and podcast she founded called FemInEM. During our conversation Dara talks about the problems she is solving through FemInEM. (Note: Many of these problems are not exclusive to doctors, but are cultural and societal issues that she’s working on shifting.) Plus, we talk about how Dara became a doctor, likeability bias in the workplace, gender equity not only the workplace and at home, knowing what battles to choose versus what to let go, and carrying the mental load as a woman and a caregiver.Selected link love + resources from the episodeConnect with Dara on social media: Facebook | Twitter | EmailFemInEM.orgFemInEM PodcastFemINEM Speakers BureauNYU Langone Medical CenterGloria SteinmanOverwhelmed by Brigid SchulteSoulCycleNirvana: A Getting Things Done AppRemember the Milk: Task ManagementStrengthsFinderAll In by Josh LevsKickass Theme Music: “Things Are Getting Better” Written by Rishi Dhir.
