Power Lunch for Clinical Faculty:
Time Management: Myth or Real Possibility?
Elizabeth G. (Libby) Baxley, MD
Chair, Family and Preventative Medicine, USC School of Medicine
Wednesday, November 11, 2009, 12:15-1:45 p.m.
Center for Teaching Excellence, Thomas Cooper Library, Room 511
Description
Overloaded? Too many priorities? Not enough time to spare? In professional organizations, individual autonomy and personal goal setting and achievement are valued higher than structured job descriptions. While attractive, this requires individual faculty to manage their own careers, often with little outside interference or direction. In this environment, the activity and pressure of daily faculty life often gets in the way of progress on long-term goals. In these times, it is more important than ever to learn the knowledge and skills of successful career and life management. Personal and professional fulfillment reflects an ongoing process of clarifying your vision and values, and aligning your life to be congruent with those things which hold timeless meaning for you. In this power lunch, Dr. Baxley will discuss why traditional time management principles fall short of helping us get to those goals that matter, as participants consider how to put first things first in their own lives and careers.
Registration is required to participate in this Power Lunch. Register by November 5th by filling out the online registration form below:
