Show Notes

Fill your cup with this inspiring episode of The Accelerators Podcast!

Dr. Matt Spraker is joined by Dr. Julianne Pollard-Larkin, medical physicist, service chief of the thoracic physics group at MD Anderson Cancer Center, and chair of the EDI Committee of the AAPM. We discuss topics and strategies for creating an inclusive workplace for all of #RadOnc, especially now when we need it the most. 

We begin with a discussion of how to be a great leader and it starts self-care. Star athletes don't do it alone, get yourself a coach! 

The discussion then moves to our personal experiences with COVID, the importance of leading with a physical presence, and how MD Anderson Radiation Oncology is screening for burnout. 

We close with a more traditional discussion of DEI and Julie's important work with AAPM creating affinity groups.
