Our guest this week is Jessica Kahn, MD, MPH. Dr. Kahn brings us a powerful list outlining ten key strategies for success in an academic career.

Long time listeners will know that we love lists here on the Faculty Factory Podcast and we have a great treat for our audience today. While today’s presentation is geared a lot towards more junior level faculty, there are nuggets in this conversation that can benefit those at any stage of their career.

Dr. Kahn serves as Division Director of Adolescent Medicine and Associate Chair of Academic Affairs and Career Development at Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center in Ohio.

“The first strategy for success is to create an individual development plan and a developmental network plan,” she told us. “I really think that those are roadmaps for our success as faculty.”

As outlined in today’s discussion, having an individual development plan or an IDP empowers us to take ownership of our own career development.

There is no question that by following the strategies as presented in this masterful talk from Dr. Kahn, our faculty will be on the path towards building that much needed resiliency to achieve their career goals.
