Dr. Yousem

Dave Yousem, MD, MBA, is back for today’s Faculty Factory podcast episode about how faculty can better nail the job interview.

We all know and love Dr. Yousem by now, this is his seventh visit to our show. He serves as Associate Dean for Professional Development at the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine.

He is also the Vice Chairman of Program Development at the Johns Hopkins Medical Institution.

Dr. Yousem outlines his thoughts on nailing the interview into 5 basic concepts:

  1. Preparing for the Job Interview
  2. Questions to Expect
  3. How to Make a Lasting Impact so you’ll be Remembered
  4. Potential Mistakes to Avoid
  5. How to Follow-up after the Interview

I mentioned an interview I did with Dan Shapiro, MS, PhD, around the 9 and a half minute mark of today’s podcast. Dr. Shaprio discussed innovative interviewing techniques in that podcast. These interviews have involved actors playing the role of a disgruntled faculty member. It’s was a fascinating discussion and dovetails nicely with today’s chat with Dr. Yousem. You can listen to that podcast, here:

We also have a transcript available of that interview that you can access too.

It’s safe to say Dr. Yousem nails the topic of nailing the interview! Be sure to check out his other appearances on the podcast after you’ve listened to today’s show. You can find a list of them in a previous blog post about Dr. Yousem and the importance of mission statements.
