Our guest on the Faculty Factory Podcast this week is Elena Fuentes-Afflick, MD, MPH. Dr. Fuentes-Afflick is a leading contributor in identifying compensation inequities in academic medicine. She joins us to discuss her work on today’s podcast.
Dr. Elena Fuentes-Afflick serves as Professor and Vice Chair of Pediatrics and Chief of Pediatrics at the Zuckerberg San Francisco General Hospital, and Vice Dean for Academic Affairs in the University of California, San Francisco School of Medicine.
Dr. Elena Fuentes-Afflick shared feedback for early career faculty members looking to be involved with faculty salary equity studies, and other critical information about resources and developments related to this topic.
“Not everyone wants more money. Sometimes people want more flexibility, but if you understand how compensation is structured at your university, you’ll be better informed to advocate for yourself and ask questions,” she told us.
