Vaninder K. “Vinny” Dhillon, MD, FACS, is our guest on today’s episode of the Faculty Factory Podcast. Dr. Dhillon shares with us some of her habits and hacks relating to patient care, clinical service, and the pursuit of a work-life balance.

Dr. Dhillon is Assistant Professor in the Department of Otolaryngology – Endocrine Head and Neck Surgery with Johns Hopkins Medicine. She is an endocrine surgeon and laryngologist practicing primarily in Bethesda, Md.

Today’s episode is our ninth “H3” episode, also known as the “Habits and Hacks from Hopkins.”

In this latest season of our podcast, I talk with folks about the practices, efficient routines, and ideas we could all benefit from hearing about as faculty.

For the purposes of today’s discussion, Dr. Dhillon divides her habits into two categories: hacks she uses at work and hacks she uses at home to create a work-life balance. Time management is extremely important in her life as Dr. Dhillon finds herself in clinic three days a week and sees 15 – 20 patients a day.

“Its been a lot of trial and error in terms of figuring out the best balance with time and efficiency,” she said.

As someone who is not a clinician I learned a lot about patient care on today’s episode with Dr. Dhillon. There is a lot of great information for our listeners on today’s show.
