#15: Sexual Assault in Training

**This episode discusses sensitive topics including sexual assault**Today's episode features Dr. Francis Mei Hardin, an otolaryngologist, host of "Promising Young Surgeon", and a pioneer of culture change. She interviewed me about being sexually assaulted when I was a 4th year resident. We talk about power dynamics in training, the importance of compassion and support for trainees, and how my program cared for me in my wounded state after the assault. If you have ever experienced assault or violence, please take good care of yourself, seek support, and listen with caution.Link to Promising Young Surgeon Podcast:https://heyinfluent.com/podcasts/promising-young-surgeon/Thank you to the Influent Network!Empowered Surgeons Group is available now!
