W. Michael Caudle, PhD is the Director of Graduate Studies for the Environmental Health Sciences PhD program at the Rollins School of Public Health. In this episode, Mike talks about his journey from trained laboratory scientist to discovering his passion for teaching and mentoring.
He highlights how important continuing professional development is as the various skills needed to be an effective educator or leader aren't typically taught in PhD or postdoctoral training, therefore educators have to teach themselves or find other resources for that skills training. His words of wisdom include "really focus on being reflective, being able to reflect back on your own experiences and appreciating those experiences and being able to leverage those experiences as you're engaging with students, but at the same time, to be flexible. So understanding that each of those interactions is going to be different and that it's not going to be a one-size-fits-all solution to whatever the issue is." and "If you are someone who maybe doesn't see yourself in the educational space, don't close that door because there are a lot of different ways to educate. It does not have to be in a classroom. It does not even have to be in an academic setting. You are an educator in your community. You are an educator at your dinner table. So there are a lot of ways to educate, to mentor, and to facilitate."
