Colleen Farrell, former Marine Captain, joins us to talk about her experiences on the Female Engagement Teams and her involvement in the lawsuit that led to the eventual repeal of the Combat Exclusion Policy. The grit and determination she and her Marines displayed in the face of a policy that kept them from accomplishing their mission downrange is unparalleled. She expertly outlines why the Combat Exclusion Policy impacted mission readiness and individual careers and illustrates why she felt compelled to join the lawsuit to repeal this policy. Moreover, she shows us that women offer different capabilities than men have that allows them to be an asset on the battlefield. Her  testimony inspires us all to show personal courage to stand up for what feels right for an organization we care so deeply about. Two lawsuits were filed against the US Department of Defense, the ACLU lawsuit  and the one Professor Coughlin worked on (NAME). The Department of Defense repealed the Ground Combat Exclusion Policy shortly after these cases were filed. The ACLU lawsuit is still on-going. Colleen is no longer involved in this case. Glossary: MOS: Military Occupational Specialty

"You have to believe that girls have the power. You don't empower the girl; you have to see the power in her." Suniti Neogy from CARE and Jayanthi Pushkaran talk about lessons from girl-led activism in the Tipping Point project, adapting a model from EMpower in India to Bangladesh and Nepal. What would they do differently now? Have girls lead more! It's very difficult for adults to let go of control, but girls can lead themselves. Ask them the questions; don't tell them the answers. Help girls think through risks and what activism means for them, and how we can be their allies. In needs cultivation, coordination, and commitment. Thanks to Colleen Farrell for hosting the interview!

Colleen Farrell (@colleenmfarrell), MD, internal medicine resident in NYC, shares the stresses experienced by medical residents treating COVID-19, the physical impact of being on the front lines with extended hours, and a harrowing personal story of the emotional toll of being engrossed in the hospital environment during these times.

We talk with Colleen Farrell who’s doing her third year of an internal medicine residency in New York City. Fortunately, we caught her during a one-week vacation (she was supposed to be taking two), and she chatted with us about how she and her colleagues are coping. We asked her what she thought COVID-19’s larger lessons would […]

Welcome to Episode 2 of our Spotlight Series, where we will be discussing the many ways that doctors and doctors-in-training can hone their writing skills, outside of clinical notes. In Part One, Dr. Colleen Farrell speaks candidly about her journey through writing and medicine, including her experience with writing about mental health, the confidence gap she witnessed in clinical medicine which inspired her Rudin Fellowship Project, and the essence of storytelling. Thanks to Darlina Liu for producing this episode, to our podcast leads, Shiv and Darlina, and to the band Night Float for providing our music. This episode was sponsored by the Master Scholars Program in Humanistic Medicine at the NYU School of Medicine as part of our four-episode Spotlight Series featuring: Medicine & Improv, Medicine & Writing, Medicine & Art, and Medicine & Dance. "Our program takes a broad, inclusive approach to medical humanities, with the goal of supporting students' creative and intellectual interests outside the scope of traditional medical education. Many of our students come into medical school with a passion for the humanistic disciplines. Others develop this along the way, after encountering particular experiences or questions over the course of their training and looking to art or history or one of the social sciences to explore them more deeply. Students can do this through one of our mini-courses, like Art & Anatomy or Medical Improv, or through our Rudin Fellowship in Medical Ethics and Humanities, if they have a more targeted research project in mind. Many of our courses actually grow out of student-generated ideas—Medical Improv is a great example. Participants in our program often report that it helps sustain the many dimensions of their identities beyond their interest in biomedicine, and that the freedom of choice (either in selecting seminars or in the Rudin Fellowship, where students design completely individualized projects) is validating and empowering in a context that can often feel very hierarchical. It is imperative that we recognize and support each of our students as a whole person if we want them to develop into the kind of physicians who treat each of their patients as a whole person." – Katie Grogan, Associate Director, MSPHM
