We are reunited with Kimara Ellefson, MBA, for a fun and informative reunion interview on this week’s Faculty Factory podcast episode. Kimara is the National Director for Partnerships with the Kern National Network for Caring & Character in Medicine (KNN).
According to its website, “KNN is a national network of seven medical schools dedicated to advancing caring and character in medicine with the goal of promoting human flourishing.”

Last time we interviewed Kimara on the Faculty Factory, it was for Episode No. 26 back in 2019. (To put things into perspective, today’s episode is No. 171.) You can listen to Kimara’s first episode with us on our podcast here: https://facultyfactory.org/kimara-ellefson/
At the time of our first discussion, Kimara was Associate Vice President of Talent Strategy and Faculty Affairs at the Medical College of Wisconsin (MCW) in Milwaukee. MCW is one of the founding partners of the Kern National Network.
While her offices are still located at MCW, Kimara’s career has involved a significant pivot since we last spoke with her in 2019. She outlines the decision behind that pivot as we catch up with her on today’s episode.
