Examining the Need for Scientist Wellbeing Initiatives
Dr. Joseph E. Losee returns to the Faculty Factory Podcast for an important discussion on the innovative scientist well-being initiative taking place at the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine.
The interview also includes a broader chat about the need to address burnout among nonclinical faculty in today’s demanding academic medicine environment.
This initiative aims to address the critical issue of burnout among nonclinical faculty, primarily scientists, as their battles with burnout often go overlooked in academic medicine.
Dr. Losee highlights the initiative’s comprehensive approach, which includes assessing burnout levels, establishing a steering committee with department champions, and implementing tailored programming and symposiums.
Dr. Losee emphasizes the importance of institutional investment in faculty well-being, citing tangible benefits for both individuals and the institution, such as increased productivity, retention, and overall boosts in morale.
