It may not be surprising to those of us working in academic medicine, but teaching can be cathartic, and there are strategic ways to embrace how it contributes to our wellness.
That's essentially the thesis behind this week's episode of the Faculty Factory Podcast, featuring our guest Lyuba Konopasek, MD.
Dr. Konopasek is Senior Associate Dean for Education at Frank H. Netter School of Medicine of Quinnipiac University. As Dr. Konopasek tells us in this interview, she is a “pediatrician first and a medical education nerd second.”
As it will become clear by listening to today’s interview, within her career she has conducted a lot of research around wellbeing.
Dr. Konopasek offers us two foundational tips for efficient and effective teaching. Not only do these tips aim to bring joy to the teacher, but they also bring joy to the learner due to the reciprocal gain in these healthy learning environments.
Similar to having a healthy coaching relationship, an effective teacher tends to start from a place of curiosity while withholding judgement. Another hallmark of a healthy teaching environment is knowing who your learner is and adapting your teaching style accordingly.
