Welcome to the Podcast of Woman Otolaryngologists ("POWerâ€) focused on equipping early career women, specifically Otolaryngology junior faculty and residents, with critical non-medical skills and knowledge for successful, fulfilling careers. Join co-hosts and University of Michigan Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery residents Dr. Pratyusha Yalamanchi (“PYâ€) and Dr. Janice Farlow as they seek out experts to deliver pragmatic advice to a geographically disparate community of women in surgery.
This episode outlines (1) finding effective mentorship and sponsorship, (2) mentoring across differences in identity, and (3) avoiding "mentorship malpractice" as mentors and mentees. Joining us is Residency Program Director and Professor of Otolaryngology at Georgetown University Dr. Sonya Malekzadeh, and Residency Program Director and Associate Professor of Laryngology at the University of Michigan Dr. Robbi Kupfer. Both serve as leaders in surgical education and have been recognized for their outstanding teaching and mentorship of trainees.
Joining us is internationally recognized head and neck cancer surgeon and leader in academic medicine Dr. Carol R. Bradford. Dr. Bradford is the current dean of The Ohio State University College of Medicine and President of the American Academy of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery (AAO-HNS). Our inaugural podcast tackles (1) the current status of women in otolaryngology, (2) strategies for silencing imposter syndrome, and (3) ways to address microaggressions at work.
