Welcome to the on call with Dr. Dave podcast and today we are so excited to have our

guest on. We're welcoming Dr. Jennifer Finlinson 5 to the podcast today.

before and we've just probably listened to everything you've you've produced. And

for our listeners who may not be familiar with you or the work that you do, can you tell a little bit about yourself?

Sure, so I'm Dr. Jennifer Finlayson Fife. I, let's see, I'm going to give you the concise version, but I got my, I got my PhD in counseling psychology and I wrote my dissertation on

LDS women and sexual agency.

So I was looking at, you know, kind of cultural ideology,

particularly in a, in a patriarchy or a male-run institution how it shapes women's relationship to themselves and their sexuality

And there's a lot of crossover. We've spoken with some other people to medicine is a patriarchy medicine is orthodoxy it was originally

set up by men for men even when you do a medical residency they call it a

residency because you live in the hospital.

They didn't actually even want married men.

They want a single men because they had to live in the hospital.

So the way medicine has grown, especially in the United States, is truly an orthodoxy and a patriarchy, and now more women are getting

involved in medicine and things are starting to shift and it's an interesting time as things are changing as people start to question, why do we do it this way?
