The goal of this book is to equip you with the advice, strategies, tools, and wisdom to build a successful career in academic medicine. It represents a culmination of over five years of in-depth interviews on the Faculty Factory podcast, featuring more than 120 academic leaders and faculty members from 31 academic health centers across North America. We have organized the book into eight chapters, each focused on thematic content. The content areas include Promotion, Research & Scholarship; Mentorship, Coaching, & Sponsorship; Education; Self-Awareness, Self-Management, & Well-Being; Leadership; Networking; Communication; and a “catch-all” category of wisdom we’re calling “Pod” Potpourri. Within each chapter, you will find a series of compelling podcast episodes featuring the name and title of the podcast guest, along with “key takeaways” from the episode. We are confident that you will find tremendous value in these conversational gems as you navigate your academic medicine journey. Our aim is to foster both personal and professional growth through these interview highlights spanning more than five years of Faculty Factory podcast episodes! Learn more at FacultyFactory.org.
