Our friend, Guadalupe Federico-Martinez, PhD, also known as “Dr. Lu,” joins us this week on the Faculty Factory Podcast for a discussion about promoting various aspects of healthy behaviors among our faculty.

Dr. Lu is a wellness counselor and consultant who coaches programs related to organizational culture and the promotion of healthy behaviors for better sustainability. She previously served as faculty at the University of Arizona School of Medicine, where she held positions as Assistant Dean of Faculty Affairs and Career Development, as well as Associate Professor of Internal Medicine.

An active member of the AAMC’s Group on Faculty Affairs (GFA), Dr. Lu spent 17 years at the University of Arizona before beginning her journey as a wellness counselor.

At the heart of Dr. Lu's philosophy is the recognition that faculty members are multifaceted individuals with diverse needs and responsibilities. Too often, the focus in academia is solely on professional achievement, neglecting the importance of physical, emotional, and social well-being.

Through her work as a wellness counselor and consultant, Dr. Lu aims to address this imbalance by guiding faculty members in navigating the complexities of their personal and professional lives.
