In STFM’s inaugural podcast series, Academic Medicine Leadership Lessons: COVID-19, family medicine educators are rising to the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic by redesigning health systems, inventing new ways to train learners, and providing the best possible care to patients. Much has been accomplished quickly and with great ingenuity, and we’re sharing some of those stories of adaptability, resourcefulness, and learner engagement.
“Our goal with this COVID-19 series is to celebrate the work that family medicine has done around the country, specifically our membership. We’re so proud of them, and we know that so many are either dealing with a surge, or thinking about how best to prepare for another wave,” said Brian Hischier, manager of online education, at the Society of Teachers of Family Medicine. Mr Hischier serves as host for the COVID-19 series podcasts.
Recent episodes within this COVID-19 series include:
Judy Washington, MD, on Working With Residents on a COVID-19 Floor
Chip Taylor, MD, on Rapid Rural Response to COVID-19
Saria Saccocio, MD, on Rapid Change in Residency Programs
Emily Soni, DO, on the Importance of the Human Connection
Tim Graham, MD, on Residency Program Challenges
“STFM looks forward to a new normal, and hopes to begin featuring our members on more general topics as well. We will also welcome the return of our regular podcast host, Dr Saria Saccocio, hopefully later this summer,” added Mr Hischier.
Future Academic Medicine Leadership Lessons podcasts will include in-depth interviews with family medicine leaders, giving listeners insight into pivotal experiences that have led to opportunities for personal growth and the development of leadership skills during times when health care professionals are addressing:
Motivation and mentorship
Burnout and transitions
Milestones and meaning
Barriers and bureaucracy
