Happy New Year friends of the Faculty Factory Podcast! With 2021 upon us, I’d like to introduce a new series here on the Faculty Factory— “Habits and Hacks from Hopkins” also known as “H3.”
I am always curious how someone is so successful in our field. What are the factors associated with this person’s success in attaining grants, writing papers and making great strides in their clinical practice?
I’ve been thinking about good habits for a long time. It started with Writing Accountability Groups (WAGs). Before launching WAGS, my colleague, Dr. Kharma Foucher, and I studied how one establishes strong and sustainable writing habits.
It had me thinking deeply about good habits. I’d love to uncover some of these successful habits among our faculty and this podcast could be a great platform for sharing these habits and hacks.
As you may know, this podcast started with me talking with the American Association of Medical Colleges Group on Faculty Affairs (AAMC – GFA) community. I chatted with deans and leaders in this field about how different faculty development and faculty affairs offices were ran to explore best practices while looking to build community.
Next, we introduced Faculty Factory Podcast Snippets—short, easily digestible segments of knowledge meant to provide some useful nuggets of information that faculty could listen to while on the go.
Now we are entering a new stage of this podcast where I will talk with faculty on their habits and hacks. I will interview them about what practices, efficient routines and ideas we could all benefit from hearing about! On today’s episode, I kicked-off this new series by introducing my own habits. I put them into three categories: the habits of thinking, doing and being.
Feel free to listen to the first episode of this new series by accessing the podcast player above, and please stay tuned for new episodes starting next Friday where we explore the Habits and Hacks from Hopkins (H3)!
