Joining us on the Faculty Factory Podcast this week is Wendy Ward, PhD, ABPP, FAPA, FNAP. Dr. Ward has joined us many different times (today is her eighth appearance on this show) and this is the first time she has visited us since being named associate provost for faculty in the Division of Academic Affairs at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences (UAMS).

Dr. Ward also serves as professor in the UAMS College of Medicine’s Department of Pediatrics and director of interprofessional faculty development in the Office of Interprofessional Education.

She joins us to chat about her new role and her institution’s newly named Center for Faculty Excellence. We discuss its mission to support folks across many different phases of the faculty lifecycle—including recruitment, onboarding, and much more.

We also chat post-traumatic growth literature and what the journey of moving from victim to “survivor/thriver" might look like.
