Episode 139: Negotiating for Admin Support and Resources with Dr. Ashwini Nadkarni

Research has shown that women in academic medicine, who are often in junior positions, receive less administrative support. For this reason, they may spend time doing these tasks themselves, leaving less time for professional advancement. If this sounds familiar, listen to my conversation with Dr. Ashwini Nadkarni as she shares her insights and suggestions for getting the support you need. Hint: her recommendations also apply to women in non-teaching settings. 

Ashwini Nadkarni, MD,  is an Assistant  Professor at Harvard Medical School and Associate Medical Director at Brigham Psychiatric Specialties in Boston.  Her passion is enhancing the voice, visibility, and well-being of healthcare workers.
