We have all heard the saying: "New Year, New You!" Yet, embracing change is never easy, as it comes with uncertainty and the possibility of (gulp) failure. However, there is no real “failure,” only learning opportunities when your mindset is in the right framework.
We will be back next week with brand new episodes for the Year 7/Season 7 debut of the Faculty Factory podcast. This week, we’re excited to ring in the new year by exploring some of the best interviews we’ve had over this podcast’s lifespan on how to make a transition decision.
Interested in hearing the full conversations from these episodes? Click on the links below to explore each episode in its entirety:
First up, we hear from Jochen Reiser, MD, PhD. Dr. Reiser is the President of the University of Texas Medical Branch (UTMB) and CEO of the UTMB Health System. He is a professor in the John Sealy School of Medicine and holds the John D. Stobo, MD Distinguished Chair.
Next, we have an excerpt from a great conversation with Ludy Shih, MD, MMSc. Dr. Shih currently serves as Associate Professor of Neurology in the Department of Neurology at Boston University School of Medicine.
Finally, Janet Bickel, MA, joins the show to share timeless advice on adaptability in the face of major change.
We firmly believe that these interviews comprising this “best of” podcast can help faculty members or really anyone looking for a fresh start in 2026! Happy New Year to all our community and family! Learn more: https://facultyfactory.org/
