In this episode, Dr. Andrea Austin, emergency physician, educator, and Program Director, discusses her research on developing physician changemakers. Drawing from her master’s thesis in Health Professions Education, she explores the characteristics of physicians who successfully drive systems-level change while sustaining meaning in their work. The conversation highlights the balance between individual courage and organizational support, and why loving both the people and the process is essential for transformation in healthcare. Listeners will walk away with practical insights for faculty development, leadership growth, and building cultures that foster innovation rather than burnout.
