She is also involved with the Society of Hospital Medicine, starting the local Nebraska Chapter a few years ago and now sitting on the Physicians In Training National Committee.
Dr. Ashford will be the first to tell you that she has the best job around, and she feels that her training both in medical school and residency at the University of Nebraska has prepared her well to be a successful academic physician in both disciplines. She has one daughter, Rosie. In her free time, she enjoys running (both on the road and trail), cooking and baking, swimming, traveling and watching reality TV.
