Join us on a transformative journey as Dr. Shannon Richardson, PT, DPT, EdD, OCS, CSCS, discusses his shift from the fast-paced world of clinical work to the halls of academia.

Dr. Richardson, alongside the exceptional Kyra Gause, known for her impact on medical education coordination and accreditation of the Doctor of Physical Therapy program at the College of St. Mary, offers an invaluable look into the challenges and triumphs of becoming an educator. Their stories underscore the pivotal role of mentorship and community in smoothing the transition for new educators in academic settings.

This episode shatters the notion that expertise in a profession ensures a talent for teaching. We dissect the nuances between knowing and teaching, illustrating why educators who have grappled with and overcome personal academic hurdles often emerge as more empathetic and effective mentors.

We delve deep into how self-reflection and an understanding of pedagogy can advance an educator's role in cultivating student success, offering a treasure trove of wisdom for both seasoned and aspiring educators.

Our discussion unveils how these relationships, when built on trust, can transcend traditional boundaries, fostering growth and autonomy. We tackle the sensitive balance of ethics and power in education and confront the challenges of equity and inclusivity within the mentorship landscape.

Tune in for an eye-opening dialogue that celebrates the diversity of identities in clinical practice and champions the pursuit of cultural competence and inclusivity in healthcare education.
