HMI 30th anniversary podcast series

To Teach is to Learn Twice: A conversation with Holly Gooding

 

This episode of the Harvard Macy Institute podcast features Holly Gooding, a well know faculty leader within HMI. Holly is an internal medicine and adolescent medicine physician by training, with an impressive clinical research portfolio in cardiovascular risk assessment for teens and young adults. Trained in California and then Boston, she now serves as the Medical Director of Adolescent Medicine at Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta.

Holly is a star medical educator and scholar. In addition to co-directing the Harvard Macy Program for Educators in the Health Professions, she is associate dean for Professional Development and Education at Emory School of Medicine, where she fosters professional development for medical trainees and faculty.

In this inspirational conversation, Holly gives us insights into her parallel and overlapping careers as clinician, researcher, educator and scholar. She highlights the influence of mentors and peers on her career decisions and educational practice. She sees opportunities in being given big jobs to do, e.g. developing the ‘science of learning’ theme in the Educators program. We ponder about the role of AI in clinical and educational practice, and feel grateful to be part of a community of practice that will be helping to understand and guide our work. Holly is endlessly generous with her praise of others who contribute to and nurture the Harvard Macy Institute, and we are grateful for her ongoing contribution.

Your host for this episode is Victoria Brazil (Educators, ’05, Leaders ’07, Assessment ‘10). Victoria is Professor of Emergency Medicine at Bond University Faculty of Health Sciences and Medicine. She hosts the HMI podcast and is co-producer ofSimulcast-a podcast about healthcare simulation.
