Our listeners are in for a treat this week on the Faculty Factory Podcast as we enjoy a first-time visit from Ann Thompson, MD. She has been called “The Mother of Us All” in the field of pediatric clinical care, and her wisdom is prodigious.

Distinguished Service Professor Emerita in Critical Care Medicine and Pediatrics, and the Vice Dean Emerita at the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine.

Throughout her career, she has gained a reputation for her dedication to teamwork, facilitation, collaboration, team building, and ensuring overall team success across departments. This commitment is evident not only in her intensive care work but also in her role in faculty affairs, where she served as Vice Dean for ten years.

We hope you enjoy this memorable episode as Dr. Thompson reveals her reflections on what it has taken to continuously build and support teams within this field over the years.

We also want to give Dr. Thompson a tip of the cap for her continued support of the Faculty Factory. She was a Patreon supporter for several years of our show in our early years, and this community and its resources wouldn’t have the reach they have without the generosity of folks like her.
