The Academic Revolution
Welcome to The Academic Revolution Podcast, hosted by Inga Hofmann, MD, a Harvard-trained Pediatric Oncologist, Physician Leadership Coach, and Founder of the Physician Scientists Coaching Program. If you are like most academic physicians, you want to know the secret to creating a highly successful academic career, without sacrificing your personal life. But the truth is that the traditional academic system is broken, leaving more and more professionals like you wanting to give up. However, I’m here to tell you that you don’t need to! So it’s time we go against the grain and say “NO” to the old “publish or perish mentality” and say “YES” to creating lasting change from within our institutions. Join me as we shift from resignation to revolution and transform academic medicine from the inside out, one physician and scientist at a time. Together we will create an Academic Revolution that makes a real impact and changes the future of academic medicine forever.
