Building an Army for Women's Health

Dr. Dara Kass shares the origin story of FemInEM, her organization born from a need for collective action to neutralize biases women face in medicine, such as advocating for maternity leave and salary transparency. She recounts her pivotal time in the US Department of Health and Human Services, which revealed the brokenness of the system beyond healthcare delivery itself. Today, Dr. Kass is tackling the post-Dobbs landscape with a strategic focus on empowering emergency physicians to deliver legal and safe reproductive healthcare through evidence-based protocols and education. Crucially, she discusses the necessity of funding this crucial advocacy work, ensuring that women are paid for their passion and not simply giving their time away for free. This conversation is a compelling call to action for every physician to find their focus, build their community, and maintain hope in the face of overwhelming challenges.
