Strong Mentorship emboldens people to take smarter risks.
A national study of 30,000 college graduates found that alumni who had “a professor who cared about me as a person and a mentor who encouraged my goals” were nearly twice as likely to be engaged in their work and 40% more likely to be thriving in overall well‑being.
So, for this second episode in our mentoring series, I am so excited to share this conversation with Hubie Ballard. Hubie has been a neonatologist for over 20 years, but beyond his work in the NICU, he is mentoring hundreds of current and future doctors, and indirectly affecting the lives of thousands of patients through his guidance.
He is the shining example of the physician-scholar, a champion of radical kindness, and has the depth of intellectual curiosity that I can only hope to develop.
He is so beloved by students that the graduating medical school class of 2025 just inducted him as an honorary member.
In this episode we talk about his techniques, his philosophies, and whether AI can enhance his work as a mentor.
