It has been well over three years since we last heard from Daniel Shapiro, MS, PhD on the Faculty Factory Podcast. We welcome him back today for a substantive, in-depth chat about data’s role in advancing the careers of our faculty.
Dr. Shapiro serves as the Vice Dean for Faculty and Administrative Affairs at the Penn State College of Medicine (Hershey) and he is the Garner James Cline Professor of Medical Humanism.
Today’s episode is another special Faculty Factory reunion episode where we visit with past podcast guests and learn about what’s new since we last chatted.
Dr. Shapiro first joined us in February 2019. At the time it was the first ever interview released on this podcast and our second episode overall. As we approach episode No. 200, it was great to have Dr. Shapiro join us once again.
His first episode with us focused on factors that influence the productivity, success, happiness and overall well-being of faculty. You can learn more about that episode and listen to it here: https://facultyfactory.org/daniel-shapiro-ms-phd-faculty-factory-podcast-episode-2/
Utilizing data to make things fairer to everyone in academic medicine is the underlying theme in today’s interview.
“Having data matters. It’s a way of cutting through folks that are just charismatic and it really helps us get somewhere,” he said.
