Heather Brod visits the Faculty Factory Podcast this week with some high-level takeaways from a recent talk she has developed and presented called, “What You Should Know About Academic Medicine (But No One Tells You).”
We hope you are familiar with the style of commentary and wisdom Heather brings to the table as a “frequent flier” on this show. She is also the coauthor of “The Insider’s Pocket Guide to Navigating a Faculty Career in Academic Medicine,” alongside Faculty Factory Podcast host and co-author Kimberly A. Skarupski, PhD, MPH.
The “hidden curriculum,” which encompasses the important, often unspoken aspects of a career in academic medicine, are covered throughout this discussion. This includes salient items like negotiating for a job and making an impact.
“How do we create this balance between what we need and want, and what we should deliver to our institutions—what they need, want, and expect from us—and build a fulfilling and meaningful career for ourselves?” Heather said. “And not just ones that check the boxes of success on paper.”
