Our friend Susan Pollart, MD, returns to the Faculty Factory Podcast this week with an interview highlighting the importance of supporting faculty at different career stages, with a strong focus on later career transitions.
She currently serves as Senior Associate Dean for Faculty Affairs and Faculty Development and the Ruth E. Murdaugh Professor of Family Medicine Professor of Family Medicine at the University of Virginia School of Medicine.
Dr. Pollart joined our podcast in two previous episodes, and you can catch up on those interviews here:
Congratulations are in order for Dr. Pollart, as she was awarded the AAMC’s 2023 Carole J. Bland Phronesis Award. You can learn more about that here: https://news.med.virginia.edu/honors-awards/susan-m-pollart-md-awarded-aamcs-phronesis-award/
Dr. Pollart emphasizes the value of creating flexible models that allow individuals to adjust their engagement levels based on personal circumstances, reducing burnout and increasing overall career satisfaction. The discussion touches on the concept of an Emeritus academy and explores the idea of a phased retirement approach.
Furthermore, this insightful conversation with Dr. Pollart underscores the necessity of adapting institutional structures to meet the evolving demands of faculty members throughout their careers.
