It’s been nearly three years since Susan Chubinskaya, PhD, visited us on the Faculty Factory Podcast. We welcome her back with open arms today.

Her trademark levels of high energy and enthusiasm are on full display in today’s episode.

Dr. Chubinskaya leaves us with plenty of pearls of wisdom for faculty looking to develop their careers. She also gives us a recap of how her institution has grown in the three years since we last chatted on this podcast.

Dr. Chubinskaya currently serves as Vice Provost of Faculty Affairs at Rush Medical College in Chicago.

She is also the Klaus Kuettner Professor of Osteoarthritis Research in the Departments of Pediatrics, Orthopaedic Surgery, and Medicine (Section of Rheumatology). She is the Past President of the Orthopaedic Research Society.

Today’s podcast is another reunion show as we welcome back Faculty Factory “Alumni” to catch us up on news and nuggets from their institution and career. You can listen to Dr. Chubinskaya’s first podcast episode with us from 2019 here.

“Life is given only once and you cannot put on hold what you want to do,” Dr. Chubinskaya said.

We are grateful for her words of encouragement for faculty and boundless energy.
