Working Effectively with Faculty and/or Physicians
Working with faculty members and/or physicians takes special insights, approaches and ingenuity. Through years of consulting, research, training and presentations, Dr. Christy has created the first ever book/training/comprehensive approach for building strong staff-faculty relationships. The same approach can also be applied to staff-physician relationships.
• Recognize how working with faculty/physicians is different from the traditional boss-subordinate relationships in other organizations
• Assess the opportunities and challenges of working with faculty/physicians
• Examine how to accurately interpret faculty/physician communication and work styles, priorities, needs and pressures
• Apply strategies and best practices to orient and communicate with faculty/physicians in a positive and productive manner
• Develop helpful strategies to partner with faculty/physicians in helping them follow important administrative procedures for your collective success
• Identify various ways to recognize and attempt to influence difficult faculty members and/or physicians
You will benefit by:
• Gaining new insights and approaches to build strong staff/faculty or staff/physician relationships
• Increased awareness of how you can communicate more effectively with faculty/physicians
• Developing a stronger understanding of the structure and culture of academic institutions and its impact on faculty/physician work-styles and priorities
• Building more effective working relationships with your faculty/physicians so you can get more done
NOTE: All participants will receive a copy of Susan Christy’s book Working Effectively with Faculty: Guidebook for Higher Education Staff and Managers
Audience:
Anyone who has the need to communicate directly with faculty and/or physicians
