Breaking Barriers: Dr. Lauren Shawn’s Journey in Research and Advocacy
Episode 49: Does this sound familiar? You’ve been told repeatedly to work harder and prove yourself to advance your career in medicine. Yet, despite your efforts, you still find yourself facing inequity. Being overlooked and undervalued can be disheartening, leaving you questioning your worth and potential. But what if there was a different approach, a path that empowers you and creates lasting change in the medical field?
In this episode, you will be able to:
- Delve into the necessity of gender equity in the workplace and its implications on society.
- Understand how advocating for shared responsibility in caregiving can shift paradigms.
- Learn about the struggles and triumphs of launching a nonprofit organization to create change.
- Gain insights on overcoming imposter syndrome and embracing failure as an essential part of growth.
- Become aware of how to combat sexual harassment and toxic work atmospheres effectively.
We are thrilled to shine a spotlight on Dr. Lauren Shawn, a dedicated physician, advocate for gender equity, and non-profit founder. Her entry into medicine was driven by a desire to uplift patients’ voices, a commitment shaped by her own experiences as a patient. Not content to simply work within the established system, Dr. Shawn co-founded RANGE, a trailblazing organization that focuses on gender-equity research.
