How can we consistently show our colleagues and trainees what it looks like leading as a professional in clinical and research settings? Our guest, Dr. Jody Foster, MD, MBA, is a Clinical Professor of Psychiatry in the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania and Chair of the Department of Psychiatry at Pennsylvania Hospital, leads the Professionalism Program at Penn Medicine as the Executive Clinical Director, is the Assistant Dean for Professionalism at Perelman School of Medicine, and serves as team Psychiatrist for the current champion Philadelphia Eagles.

With host Meryl Cohen, they discuss how to have tough conversations in intergenerational settings, and how to humanize even the most frustrating interpersonal conflicts. Jody reflects on how much (or little) professionalism issues have changed since the start of her career and how her approach has shifted.
