This week’s episode of the Faculty Factory podcast is a chat with Nutan Vaidya, MD, about her role as Vice Dean for Faculty Affairs and Equity with the Chicago Medical School at Rosalind Franklin University of Medicine and Science in North Chicago, Ill.

Dr. Vaidya also serves as Professor and Discipline Chair of Psychiatry with the Chicago Medical School. Prior to her current role, Dr. Vaidya served as Senior Associate Dean for Academic Learning Environment (before it was known as Faculty Development).

Dr. Vaidya discusses the unique challenges facing her community medical school and the solution-oriented approach her team enacted to better serve faculty. Make sure to listen to today’s episode in its entirety to learn about the key programs and initiatives that were built to deal with these challenges.

There are plenty of amazing, innovative programs taking place at her institution and we are honored to have her visit us this week to spread these ideas.
