A Clear Path to Promotion in Academic Medicine
In this podcast, Dr. Bradley Block joins Dr. Joseph Losee for a powerful conversation about the real path to academic advancement. Drawing from over two decades as a division chief, program director, and mentor, Dr. Losee reveals how saying “yes” shaped his journey from young faculty member to national leader—and why the same word must be used intentionally at different seasons of life.
The discussion explores the balance between sacrifice and wellbeing, the shifting culture of academic medicine, and how meaning and mentorship sustain long-term fulfillment. Dr. Losee also shares insights on conflict resolution, leadership development, and his latest venture, ClarityMEDStrategies, where he pioneers early dispute mediation to restore trust and healing between physicians, patients, and health systems.
