Please join me in welcoming Travis Losey, MD to the AUPN in his new role as Chair of the Department of Neurology at Loma Linda University. Dr. Losey obtained his MD from Loma Linda University School of Medicine, followed by an internship in Internal Medicine and a residency in Neurology at Loma Linda University Medical Center. He then completed a fellowship in Epilepsy and Clinical Neurophysiology at the Barrow Institute. After completion of his training, he returned to Loma Linda as faculty, rising to become Director of the EEG Laboratory, Co-Director of the Epilepsy Center and Vice Chair of the Department, as well as Assistant Chief Medical Officer of the SAC Health System. Keeping your faculty happy is one of the secrets of becoming a successful chair, but this can be particularly challenging in the modern academic environment. This month’s AUPN Leadership Minute, Happy Faculty-Happy Life: Improving Faculty Satisfaction is presented by Dr. Susan Matulevicius (UT Southwestern) and moderated by Dr. Muhammad “Mud” Alvi (West Virginia University). In this episode, Dr. Matulevicus presents several strategies for achieving this goal, including how to truly listen to faculty and value their contributions, and how to make them feel involved in departmental decision-making.
