We explore the transition from academia to industry and the challenges and opportunities that arise in this week’s edition of the Faculty Factory Podcast, with our guest Ludy Shih, MD, MMSc.
Dr. Shih currently serves as Associate Professor of Neurology in the Department of Neurology at Boston University School of Medicine.
Dr. Shih has facetiously referred to her journey as “To the Dark Side and Back.”
While we are major proponents of keeping our sense of humor here at the Faculty Factory, Dr. Shih’s story is truly one of bravery. Her journey serves as a blueprint for anyone in our field of academic medicine considering transitioning to industry.
As Dr. Shih's story illustrates, returning to your academic roots is often feasible, even if your exploration of industry isn't what you ultimately want for your career. Equipped with newfound experience, you can seamlessly transition back to academia.
We applaud Dr. Shih for joining our show to share her wisdom! Perhaps you'd like to join us as a guest or sponsor someone whom you believe we could learn from. You can contact our show by sending us a message at https://facultyfactory.org/contact-us/
