As director, she introduced longitudinal career advising, innovative educational modalities, and numerous clinical experiences.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">She is the founder of <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"FemInEM (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/feminem.org\/\" target=\"_blank\">FemInEM<\/a>, an organization dedicated to the achievement of gender equity in emergency medicine. FemInEM serves as an open access resource for women in EM: a community focused on career development, physician support, and seeing women in medicine thrive. What began as a blog is now a movement\u2014a multi-faceted community comprised of women in medicine all over the world.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I can tell you that words are not enough to understand the magic and energy Dara brings to everything she is involved in.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In this conversation we talk about Dara\u2019s childhood, what it was like growing up in Sheepshead Bay, Brooklyn, in a duplex house with her grandparents on the ground floor.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Dara shares her story about the spark that led to the founding of FemInEM.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We hear about how she went from a simple supporter of Mayor Pete in the Democratic primaries to a member of his campaign.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And the most amazing part of this conversation is that just a couple days before the recording, Dara tested positive for the coronavirus causing COVID-19.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So, I spoke to her while she was in quarantine at her house, isolated from her kids, but still on the frontlines by continuing to care for patients through telehealth.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Dara is a locomotive when it comes to getting things done, but I can also tell you that she is someone who brings everyone together, finds the best in them, and builds something where the whole is greater than the parts.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So without further ado, please sit back, relax, and enjoy my conversation with the amazing Dr. Dara Kass. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Magical is how I would describe Dr. Dara Kass.
