Listen now:
Alejandro V. Garcia, MD, FACS, FAAP, joins the Faculty Factory today to discuss the habits and hacks that have led to his success. This is the first installment of our new season of the podcast called, “H3: Habits and Hacks from Hopkins.”
On these new episodes, I will talk with faculty on their habits and hacks. These are the practices, efficient routines and ideas we could all benefit from hearing about in academia. To learn more about H3, please read the blog I wrote about this series from last week (if you missed it).
At Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, Dr. Garcia serves as:
- Assistant Professor of Surgery.
- Surgical Director, Pediatric ECMO Program.
- Director, Pediatric Burn Program.
- Assistant Program Director, Halsted Residency.
It is safe to say this new season of the Habits and Hacks from Hopkins is off to a great start! I thoroughly enjoyed getting a chance to interview Dr. Garcia.
“Blocking off time in the calendar for doing the things we say we’re too busy to do, like write a paper or have lunch with a friend, is important,” he said. “We can fit those things in our schedule. We have to have some selfishness for protecting our time for things like that.”
There are many more great takeaways and nuggets from today’s conversation with Dr. Garcia. I highly encourage you to listen to today’s episode which is available via the embedded podcast player above. Stay tuned for many more H3 episodes of this new season from the Faculty Factory!
