    The Power of Peer Mentoring Circles with Adam D. Wolfe, MD, PhD

    Adam D. Wolfe, MD, PhD, joins the Faculty Factory Podcast this week to discuss peer mentoring for faculty and the power of building a culture of mutual support in academic medicine. It is his third time on our show, and we could not be happier to have him back for an important chat on peer mentoring. He also shares the findings from his work co-authoring, "Outcomes of a Peer Mentoring Circle: An Innovation to Improve Academic Physician Career Advancement in a Community Hospital Setting," published in the peer-reviewed journal Academic Medicine. You can read more about that article by visiting PubMed. Dr. Wolfe is Associate Professor of Pediatrics and Program Director of the Pediatric Residency Program. He also serves as Assistant Dean of Medical Education and holds the Jann L. Harrison Endowed Chair in Pediatric Graduate Medical Education at Baylor College of Medicine in San Antonio at CHRISTUS Children's. "I think creating a peer mentoring circle requires a group of people who have some shared goals and a little bit of willingness to work together, and you can go through the steps I outlined. I think these steps would be germane for any group that wants to accomplish, or help each other accomplish their goals," Dr. Wolfe said. As mentioned, this is Dr. Wolfe’s third time appearing on the Faculty Factory Podcast, please be sure to visit his previous appearances here: Visit episode 320 – Self-Promotion and Other Challenges to Embrace in Academic Medicine Check out episode 326 – Key Communication Tips for Better Relationships in Academic Medicine

    Best of the Faculty Factory: Overcoming Adversity and Embracing Post-Traumatic Growth

    With a mix of pure motivational messaging and practical action you can start taking to deal with adversity, this week's episode of the Faculty Factory is a celebration of tenacity in the face of a tough time. We also feature some very important clips and snippets surrounding post-traumatic growth in this best of the Faculty Factory "greatest hits" episode. This "Best of the Faculty Factory" compilation episode features clips from three masterful episodes in the Faculty Factory archive. (If you're interested in hearing the full conversations, you can find the original episodes below.) Appearing in order are the episodes that were clipped for this podcast: What I Learned from the “Masters of Adversity” with George S. Everly, Jr., PhD, FACLP, FAPA: https://facultyfactory.org/masters-of-adversity/  New Roles, Change, and Post-Traumatic Growth with Wendy Ward, PhD, ABPP, FAPA, FNAP : https://facultyfactory.org/wendy-ward/  Vulnerability and Post-Traumatic Growth to Help Find Meaning in Medicine with Nicole Piemonte, PhD: https://facultyfactory.org/nicole-piemonte/  Although a lot of the conversation is shaped by a time of COVID (many of these interviews took place as we were still in the throes of the global pandemic, or emerging from it), there are gems of wisdom and storytelling throughout this broadcast that can help anyone looking to emerge from a challenging time. As Dr. Ward mentions, there are reasons to be hopeful, based on the post-traumatic growth literature, for many of us to emerge from a traumatic event as "better than baseline."

    Navigating the Post-Career Phase of Faculty Life with Oscar W. “Skip” Brown, MD

    Despite all the opportunities it opens, retirement can be a hard road if you fail to engage in proper planning, as we explore in this week’s episode of the Faculty Factory Podcast with returning guest Skip Brown, MD. As a clinical professor of pediatrics at UTMB in Galveston, Texas, Dr. Brown is a past vice chair for clinical affairs and a former chief medical officer at UTMB. A past president of the Texas Pediatric Society (TPS), he is a recipient of the TPS Charles W. Daeschner, Jr. Lifetime Achievement Award for his contributions to the health and welfare of Texas children. You can check out his first episode with us, “The Definitive Guide to a Fulfilling Retirement Journey,” here: https://facultyfactory.podbean.com/e/the-definitive-guide-to-a-fulfilling-retirement-journey-with-ow-skip-brown-md/ When you retire and reflect on how you want to spend your time, be mindful of the 90/10 rule: 90 percent of the work gets done by 10 percent of the people. “You can become much busier than you might want to be if you donate your time and skills,” he said. Dr. Brown’s advice: guard your freedom, stay selective about your time, and resist the pull to take on everything just because you're capable. Equally important is learning to dial back perfectionism. Perhaps the most powerful theme of the conversation was identity. He reflected on colleagues who stayed in their roles not because they wanted to, but because they had no idea who they were outside of their work. The antidote isn't a rigid plan, but genuine reflection. As Dr. Brown put it simply: you're about to work for the most insightful boss you’ve ever had — yourself. It's worth getting to know them.

    Stories of Women in Medicine from 1948 - 1975 with Anne Walling, MB, ChB

    Anne Walling, MB ChB, joins the Faculty Factory Podcast this week to discuss some incredible stories of resilience she uncovered while researching her new book "Women in Medicine: Stories from the Girls in White." Dr. Walling interviewed 37 women who fought for credibility, worked harder than is almost imaginable, and graduated from medical school between 1948 and 1975. She wanted to learn why they went into medicine and how their experiences unfolded throughout medical school, residency, and entry into practice. The work was conducted by Dr. Walling as formal qualitative research with IRB oversight and open-ended questions. She joined us at the Faculty Factory for her second interview on our show to share the stories and insights she gathered. You can learn more about the book here: https://www.routledge.com/Women-in-Medicine-Stories-from-the-Girls-in-White/Walling/p/book/9781032873190 Dr. Walling is Professor Emerita at the University of Kansas School of Medicine—Wichita and is also the author of "Academic Promotion for Clinicians: A Practical Guide to Promotion and Tenure in Medical Schools." Learn about that book here: https://link.springer.com/book/10.1007/978-3-031-84036-4 As mentioned, this is her second appearance on our show.

    Leader as a Coach and Embracing the Growth Mindset with Binata Mukherjee, MD, MBA

    When’s the last time you heard a leader say, “I don’t know?" As we learn in this week’s discussion with returning guest Binata Mukherjee, MD, on the Faculty Factory Podcast, those three words actually humanize a leader and signal confidence. It’s an important point for this interview’s broader discussion on growth mindsets. Growth-minded leaders are willing to be candid about not having all the answers as they are there to facilitate learning and help find those answers.  At the University of South Alabama (USA) in Mobile, Dr. Mukherjee serves as Assistant Dean for Faculty and Professional Development in the Whiddon College of Medicine and is Associate Professor of Internal Medicine with USA Health. She is also an Adjunct Professor of Management and Director of Healthcare Leadership Initiatives in the Mitchell College of Business at USA. “Leader As Coach” The concept of “leader as coach” describes practicing leadership as a facilitator who teaches people rather than doing the work for them or micromanaging day-to-day tasks. It’s about continually reminding the team of the direction and shifting from a manager mindset to a leader mindset. As we learn in this discussion with Dr. Mukherjee, leadership is defined by behavior, not persona. Dr. Mukherjee discusses Carol Dweck’s 2006 book "Mindset: The New Psychology of Success," which explores the dynamic between a growth mindset and a fixed mindset and why that distinction matters.  “Building trust and enabling an environment of psychological safety are the most important things about working with a team,” Dr. Mukherjee points out.
