Philip Shayne, MD is the Associate Dean for Graduate Medical Education and ACGME Designated Institutional Official at Emory University School of Medicine. In this episode, Philip talks about his journey from residency through private practice back into academic settings. He talks about recognizing early on that he wasn't as interested in research and instead pursued educational leadership roles, starting with Emergency Medicine program director, as an alternate path in academia. During his time at Emory, with support from his leaders, he has had multiple opportunities to lead locally and nationally which helped prepare him for his current leadership roles. His words of wisdom include "you need to find opportunities where you can influence a group of people, so you might make an educational or procedural or something like that. You've got to really love the job.", "There are a lot of people who think, "I have all this experience, but I've never done that," and they're more than competent to do the job. You really just need the aptitude and the love for the position." and "You've got to love what you do."
