The Medical Mentor Coaching Podcast is a hybrid-style career coaching show designed to help you navigate—and thrive in—the world of academic medicine. Hosted by Dr. Stacey Ishman, this podcast delivers actionable advice to propel your career forward in this demanding yet rewarding field.

Dr. Stacey Ishman is an ENT surgeon and sleep medicine physician who has published more than 220 peer-reviewed articles, worked on multiple NIH grants, served on the boards of three national and international organizations, and devoted the past two decades to mentoring and coaching early-career physicians.

Each episode dives into practical topics like goal-setting, skill development, mentorship, and work-life integration—all tailored to the realities of your first 10 years in academic medicine.

You’ll get real-world answers to questions such as:

➤ How do you build a clinical and academic career and gain national recognition in your field?
➤ How do you get on the program—or the committee?
➤ How do you get published?
➤ How do you find the right mentors and coaches to accelerate your success?
➤ How do you integrate work with the life you actually want?

If any of those questions resonate, this show is for you.

Join Stacey as she shares the very strategies she used to become a full professor, speak on stages worldwide, and publish widely—all while staying grounded in what matters most.
