Imposter Syndrome and Leadership Roles in Academia with Cynthia Rand, PhD

We could not be more excited to welcome Cynthia Rand, PhD, back to our program this week. Many of you may remember that Dr. Rand joined us in the Spring of 2020 as we were on the initial outbreak of the global COVID-19 pandemic.

She makes her highly anticipated return this week to chat with us about imposter syndrome and how it can impact leadership roles in academia.

With a joint appointment in Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences, Dr. Rand serves as Professor of Medicine in the Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine Department at the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine. She also serves as Senior Associate Dean for Faculty.

Today’s episode is another installment of our Faculty Factory reunion series where we visit with guests from yesteryear. As longtime listeners to our show can attest, Dr. Rand is passionate about the strength of a profound mentorship. In fact, her three previous appearances on our show have surrounded that topic.
