In support of Black History Month, California Society of Anesthesiologists is proud to present a podcast conversation with Dr. Ashley Oliver, currently a cardiac anesthesiology fellow at UCLA.
Dr. Oliver is a former PhD candidate in film studies, having received a Masters in it. However, she had an epiphany while working abroad, and pivoted to medicine. She has had a star-studded career ever since, including being Chief Resident at UCSF’s anesthesia residency.
Dr. Ludwig Lin and Dr. Oliver have a wide ranging conversation about black identity, representing that identify, the importance of diversity in medicine, bringing equity to healthcare, and being well-rounded and merging one’s various life passions into one’s life work.
