In this week’s episode of the Faculty Factory Podcast, Joseph E. Losee, MD, FACS, FAAP, MBA, returns for an important discussion on the innovative scientist well-being initiative taking place at the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine. The interview also includes a broader chat about the need to address burnout among nonclinical faculty in today’s demanding academic medicine environment.

Are you “doing” teaching, or are you being a teacher? When it comes to teaching in academic medicine, there is a fundamental difference, and we must lean into building a skillset that reflects the latter, as we learn in this week’s edition of the Faculty Factory Podcast with Karen Moniz, MEd (HSE), PhD(c). Karen emphasized the critical distinction between merely 'doing' teaching and embodying the role of a teacher, drawing from her extensive experience as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Family Medicine at the University of Alberta. She previously served as the Faculty and Staff Development Program Director at that institution from 2018 to 2023. She highlighted the intrinsic value of teaching within medical education, stressing its implications for patient care, quality, and safety. Through personal anecdotes and observations, Karen illuminated the challenges faced by clinical teachers, particularly in navigating the complex and demanding clinical environment while simultaneously engaging in teaching activities. Karen is a major proponent of elevating the visibility and recognition of teaching within academic institutions, suggesting that valuing teaching not only benefits individual educators but also enhances patient outcomes and institutional success. When we value teaching it becomes a true win-win for all stakeholders in our community. Learn More: https://facultyfactory.org/

We explore the transition from academia to industry and the challenges and opportunities that arise in this week’s edition of the Faculty Factory Podcast, with our guest Ludy Shih, MD, MMSc. Dr. Shih currently serves as Associate Professor of Neurology in the Department of Neurology at Boston University School of Medicine. Dr. Shih has facetiously referred to her journey as “To the Dark Side and Back.” While we are major proponents of keeping our sense of humor here at the Faculty Factory, Dr. Shih’s story is truly one of bravery. Her journey serves as a blueprint for anyone in our field of academic medicine considering transitioning to industry. As Dr. Shih's story illustrates, returning to your academic roots is often feasible, even if your exploration of industry isn't what you ultimately want for your career. Equipped with newfound experience, you can seamlessly transition back to academia. We applaud Dr. Shih for joining our show to share her wisdom!

Our friend, Guadalupe Federico-Martinez, PhD, also known as “Dr. Lu,” joins us this week on the Faculty Factory Podcast for a discussion about promoting various aspects of healthy behaviors among our faculty. Dr. Lu is a wellness counselor and consultant who coaches programs related to organizational culture and the promotion of healthy behaviors for better sustainability. She previously served as faculty at the University of Arizona School of Medicine, where she held positions as Assistant Dean of Faculty Affairs and Career Development, as well as Associate Professor of Internal Medicine.

The saying “slow is smooth, and smooth is fast” comes to mind as a theme of today’s conversation with Johnson George, MBA, PMP, CAHIM, on the Faculty Factory Podcast. This famous axiom underscores the importance of precision, consistency, and maintaining control as you go about your daily responsibilities and tasks. Relationships and human connection are to be key characteristics for our future leaders, as the frenetic pace of working in academic medicine can often make us feel like we're just robots plowing through to-do lists. We’re excited to welcome back Mr. George for today’s episode. He currently serves as Assistant Dean - Administration and Faculty Affairs at UTHealth Houston’s McGovern Medical School. Congratulations are also in order for Mr. George for being named chair-elect of the AAMC’s Group on Faculty Affairs (GFA) Steering Committee, as mentioned in today’s broadcast. Overall, Mr. George’s takeaway for our community of faculty development and faculty affairs personnel is that the future is bright for our next generation of leadership. Other themes explored in today’s conversation include: Catching Up with Johnson George, MBA, PMP, CAHIMS Did you know? This is not his first appearance on the podcast; it’s been nearly five years, though, since we heard from him on an episode from 2019 called “Catching up with Johnson George, MBA, PMP, CAHIMS.” Johnson brings an information technology background and thus an engineering-type mindset to his various roles in academic faculty affairs. Alongside leading with empathy, his unique background was a theme we explored in-depth on our podcast the first time Mr. George joined us. https://facultyfactory.org/catching-up-with-johnson-george-mba-pmp-cahims/Johnson.george@uth.tmc.edu

Joining us this week on the Faculty Factory Podcast is Robert Tillman, PhD, as we explore how developing high levels of self-efficacy can help make the challenges we face in academic medicine easier to overcome. With Baylor College of Medicine in Houston, Dr. Tillman is an Associate Professor in the Department of Education, Innovation & Technology. He also serves as the Director of Professional Development and Mentoring in the Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences and as an Assistant Dean in Faculty Affairs and Faculty Development with Baylor. In this episode, he kicks off his inaugural appearance on our show with an insightful exploration of self-efficacy. “When we’re doing something we really like and we have a high level of self-efficacy, the challenges become easier to overcome,” he told us. As mentioned in today’s chat, if you work regularly with a coach, mentor, or someone else who assists you along your journey, it could be helpful to explore what sources of self-efficacy you need with them and even try to develop a checklist. Dr. Tillman will be joining us this spring for more episodes as we look forward to learning more incredibly insightful and helpful faculty development content from him. Please stay tuned to our podcast for new episodes every Friday, as he will be back soon! Self-efficacy boils down to believing in oneself, and in academic medicine, we can accomplish much more when we understand the sources of self-efficacy we need to flourish and discover how we can obtain it.

It may not be surprising to those of us working in academic medicine, but teaching can be cathartic, and there are strategic ways to embrace how it contributes to our wellness. That's essentially the thesis behind this week's episode of the Faculty Factory Podcast, featuring our guest Lyuba Konopasek, MD. Dr. Konopasek is Senior Associate Dean for Education at Frank H. Netter School of Medicine of Quinnipiac University. As Dr. Konopasek tells us in this interview, she is a “pediatrician first and a medical education nerd second.” As it will become clear by listening to today’s interview, within her career she has conducted a lot of research around wellbeing. Dr. Konopasek offers us two foundational tips for efficient and effective teaching. Not only do these tips aim to bring joy to the teacher, but they also bring joy to the learner due to the reciprocal gain in these healthy learning environments. Similar to having a healthy coaching relationship, an effective teacher tends to start from a place of curiosity while withholding judgement. Another hallmark of a healthy teaching environment is knowing who your learner is and adapting your teaching style accordingly.

If people do not admire or trust us, we won’t be able to get anywhere. People skills are the greatest skills for anyone, especially for a woman of color in academia, and really in any industry,” she told us. When it comes to emotional intelligence, a gem of advice we receive from Dr. Hoque is that it’s important to take a pause, think logically, and avoid the emotions that might overtake your clear decision-making process during a challenging moment of stress.

Dr. Lee’s message is clear: “don’t simply do more; produce more.” As we enter a new year and the sixth season of the Faculty Factory Podcast, we are extra excited for this week’s episode as we welcome Jennifer Lee, MD, back to the show for her third appearance. In this episode, Dr. Lee describes various prioritization strategies that faculty can begin to employ to resist burnout by focusing on producing more, instead of simply doing more, with the end result being increased efficiency and more effective time management. “When I think about producing more, and not just doing more, I think about time management as actually being energy management,” she told us. Dr. Lee currently serves as Senior Associate Dean for the Office of Women in Science and Medicine, and she is also Professor of Anesthesiology and Critical Care Medicine (ACCM) and Pediatrics with Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine. She has previously appeared on two important episodes of our program, which you can revisit below: https://facultyfactory.org/leadership-roadmap/https://facultyfactory.org/jennifer-lee/ Dr. Lee suggests aligning tasks with personal priorities, understanding your own energy patterns, and being intentional. The conversation delves into the dopamine surge from completing tasks, but Dr. Lee warns against getting addicted to checking off items without meaningful progress.
