Joining us on the Faculty Factory Podcast this week is Elizabeth M. Jaffee, MD, FAACR, FACP, FAAAS, FAIO, highlighting the importance of reciprocal mentorship in academic medicine where both mentor and mentee contribute and grow.

Encouraging empowerment, Dr. Jaffee prompts mentees to actively engage, bringing forth their own agendas and aspirations.
