    Episode 4: My Hobby of Teaching with Casey Albin, MD

    What brings you joy in your teaching?  Dr. Casey Albin is an Assistant Professor of Neurology and Neurosurgery and a neurointensivist at Emory University School of Medicine. She completed her Neurology Residency and Medical Simulation Fellowship at Massachusetts General Hospital/Brigham and Women’s Hospital and her Neurocritical Care Fellowship at Emory University.  On this episode, Casey and I dive into how to build a niche in digital neurology education, the marvelous power of FOAMed (Free Open Access Meducation), and how even the most successful career paths in education look less like a straight line and more like a drunken (ataxic?) stagger. Listen along for some “sauna-hot” tips on finding joy in one's hobby of teaching and the secret to rest & recovery.  For more from Dr. Casey Albin, follow her on Instagram or check out her textbook: @DrCaseyAlbin: https://www.instagram.com/drcaseyalbin/?hl=en The Acute Neurology Survival Guide: https://link.springer.com/book/10.1007/978-3-030-75732-8?source=shoppingads&locale=en-us&gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=23209516270&gbraid=0AAAAADu685NGzKzYlQHgCjdfET5L3uHIf&gclid=Cj0KCQiAkPzLBhD4ARIsAGfah8hWOF3Iy2hFGDgaj6SKM_CxB8-AcTYjSVPi15_Yma9wn8_OLxUBQwAaAqicEALw_wcB Neuropraxis: The Neurology Educator's Podcast is not recorded as an official podcast of any institution or organization.
