It has been nearly three years since we last heard from our friend Neda Gould, PhD, on the Faculty Factory Podcast. When she last joined us, it was a downright scary and uncertain time. It was March 2020, and the COVID-19 pandemic was just starting to sweep across our nation and globe.

This week she joins our show so we can catch up with her and learn about more helpful self-care tools, tips, and wisdom in another very memorable episode of our podcast with Dr. Gould.

In March 2020, Dr. Gould joined the Faculty Factory Podcast (remotely, of course) and delivered two very memorable episodes to help our community cope with the emerging anxiety of the time.

“We need to be more rigorously focused on tools and approaches that are peer reviewed on best practices for self-care for health care providers,” he told us.

Dr. Bartnett brings us consistently strong insight throughout today’s discussion on workforce wellness and self-care.

“I truly believe that everyone in healthcare and frontline response needs to – and can benefit from – getting trained in psychological first aid,” he added.

Visiting the Faculty Factory podcast this week is our friend Rachel Salas, MD, MEd. Dr. Salas has plenty of pearls of wisdom for us when it comes to coaching, strength-based approaches for growth, and mentorship.

“I am on the coaching bandwagon and I think it's much needed in academia, not just for faculty, but for residents, fellows, nursing students, medical students, everything,” she said.

Dr. Salas is Assistant Medical Director with Johns Hopkins Center for Sleep and Wellness and serves as Professor of Neurology with Johns Hopkins Medicine in Baltimore.

Today’s chat is a reunion episode where we visit with past guests and friends of the Faculty Factory community.

You may remember Dr. Salas from her first appearance with us here on the Faculty Factory. She last joined us in October 2020 for Faculty Factory Podcast No. 92. The interview was called The Practical Use of Strength-Based Psychology and you can check it out here.

“Next week I'll be a different person because I'm constantly thinking about who I am, how can I be better, and I'm really in a growth mindset,” she said.

Making her first ever visit to the Faculty Factory Podcast this week is Penny S. Edwards, MS, BS.

Penny currently serves as Faculty Development Program Manager in the Office of Faculty Development at the University of South Carolina School of Medicine in Greenville.

As the title of today’s episode implies, there are plenty of great nuggets on relationship building and utilizing transferable skills to attain professional growth in this interview.

“To do the things that you are passionate about and to be promoted, sometimes you have to leave the institution you're at,” Penny told us.

Change is a major theme of today’s show. As we learn, there might be many different skills you have earned over the years that are transferable to a new position you have your eye on. Through listening to Penny’s story, we get some great examples of this in today’s chat.

“I think sometimes we need to take a step and understand there are aspects of the work that we’re doing that are the same characteristics you need in any sort of relationship-building enterprise,” she said.

There are qualities relevant to many different environments in this profession and taking a step back for some good old fashioned reflection can help us better identify these qualities.
