    About this ebook

    Overcoming the Fear is Resident Bolde's answer to the blog post The Fear at the Resident Bolde website. www.residentbolde.org The purpose of this book is to teach entering women residents the lay of the land they are going into when they transition from medical school to residency training. The ACGME lists what its milestones are but what is not clearly understood is that residents will have to achieve these milestones within a high overhead, high risk business model. The resource that gets severely restricted within this business model is time. The restriction of such a vital resource breeds fear, tribalism and discrimination within a hierarchy with a very steep power gradient which essentially subjects women physicians to the domestic violence dynamic seen in intimate relationships. Given the universality of misogyny, women cannot rely on institutions to be supportive. This book gives a specific strategy and tactics for women to apply to protect their economic agency when there is no support within the workplace.

    Resident Bolde

    Resident Bolde is a physician who left her training in a surgical subspecialty early because it was clearly not supportive. Since she was the victim of more covert forms of abuse, it took her 5 years to discover that she had experienced the same dynamic as a victim of domestic violence after speaking with DV advocate, author and former attorney Barry Goldstein. Except this was not happening in an intimate relationship, this was happening in the workplace. While sexual harassment and physical assault are more present in the public's awareness, psychological and emotional abuse and gaslighting go virtually undetected in both personal relationships as well as the workplace. Resident Bolde wants to warn future women entering the medical field about the signs of abuse so that appropriate boundaries can be set early on given that so little research has gone into the domestic violence dynamic in the workplace. She gives specialized strategic and tactical advice on how to navigate abuses of power in a hierarchy with a very steep power gradient that has the potential to derail careers. She also compares the similarities of different methods of abuse perpetrators use in intimate relationships with the medical educational system as a whole. These methods include financial, psychological, emotional, sexual and physical abuse. Since the domestic violence dynamic also occurs outside the home, Resident Bolde believes that the term should be recategorized as a type of misogynistic violence.
