Best of Education: “The Learner & Faculty Experience”

This week on the Faculty Factory Podcast, we are taking on the topic of education (and more specifically, the learner and faculty experience) by featuring important highlights and snippets from three very important episodes in our archive on that topic:

• Episode 270 – Elevating the Value of Teaching and Teacher Identity in Academic Medicine with Karen Moniz, MEd (HSE), PhD(c)
• Episode 299 – Best Supporting Practices and Strategies for Stressed-Out Learners and Faculty with Jessica Seaman, EdD
• Episode 333 – Essential Tips for a Successful Clinical Education Career with Carla L. Spagnoletti, MD, MS

The Faculty Factory’s education-themed episodes cover everything from AI in the classroom to autonomy-supportive instruction, humanities integration, and the evolving identity of the teacher-clinician. We’ve recently organized this content into its own dedicated section on our website, so it’s never been easier to find the episode that might inspire you.
