Interruptions: How One Resident Turned Rejection into Redirection- Author Talk with Ashley Bourne
Interruptions: How One Resident Turned Rejection into Redirection- Author Talk with Ashley Bourne In-Person / Online
Ashley Kate Bourne, DO, is a psychiatry resident and writer whose work explores the unvarnished reality of medical training. Her debut memoir, Resident, Interrupted, chronicles the year she went unmatched, the depression that followed, and the slow process of finding her footing again in medicine.
In this author talk, Ashley will share insights from her experiences in residency and how students can take care of their mental health while going through the rigors of medical education. The book discusses themes of burn out, depression, and how to cope with these struggles which are so often experienced by health sciences students of all kinds. This presentation will include a Q&A with the option for audience members to ask questions, allowing for an open discussion of mental health which is often stigmatized.
Refreshments will be provided for in-person attendees, and copies of the book, Resident, Interrupted, will be for sale following the talk.
Join us in person at the Communicore Building room C1-004, or on zoom. In person attendees don't need to register to attend, but you will receive an event reminder if you do.
