It’s the return of R. Kevin Grigsby, MSW, DSW, on the Faculty Factory Podcast this week!

Dr. Grigsby joins our show for a timely discussion on organizational strategy in academic medicine. Today’s conversation also includes vital tidbits on leadership, how to conduct an efficient meeting, and much more.

Today’s episode is another example of a return guest rejoining our show for a powerful and memorable reunion episode. It was way back in September 2019 when he first joined us. As you would imagine, nearly three and a half years later there was a lot to catch up on.

You can revisit Dr. Grigsby’s episode from 2019 with us here.

Dr. Grigsby has entered a stage of his career he is describing as “replenishment” as he continues to work on projects he helps colleagues with in academic medicine and science.

Dr. Grigsby previously served as Senior Director, Member Organizational Development at the Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC).

Dr. Grigsby started his academic career at Yale Child Study Center.  As a social worker by training, Dr. Grigsby was involved with work in the early stages of his career with organizations, such as group homes and shelters for homeless kids.

He worked on research to help those organizations better meet their missions.

Dr. Grigsby spent almost a decade at Penn State College of Medicine as Vice Dean for Faculty and Administrative Affairs. Before he joined the AAMC in 2009, he was Vice Dean for Administration and Research at the Medical College of Georgia in Augusta.
