Breaking with Tradition with Orthopedic Surgeon Ashley Bassett
Manage episode 350798590 series 3277712
On today’s episode, I’m talking to orthopedic surgeon Ashley Bassett about breaking with tradition.
Dr. Bassett is a sports medicine orthopedic surgeon at the Orthopedic Institute of New Jersey and the co-host of The Sports Docs Podcast with previous Madam Athlete guest, Dr. Catherine Logan. Ashley is a team physician for USA Gymnastics, traveling the world to provide coverage to the team. By breaking with tradition, Ashley has found environments and opportunities that support her and allow her to reach an even larger audience than she would have in the traditional academic setting.
We talk about:
- Letting your experiences guide you and listening to your gut feelings when choosing your career.
- Mentorship and the role that the Ruth Jackson Orthopaedic Society plays in connecting women with women mentors.
- How Ashley’s podcast allows her to tap into the teaching aspects of academic medicine in a non-traditional way.
