In this episode, host Geoffrey Rubin, MD, MBA, FACR, talks with Cheri L. Canon, MD, FACR, FAAWR, Professor and Witten-Stanley Endowed Chair of Radiology at the UAB School of Medicine, member of the UAB Medicine Joint Operating Leadership Council, current President of the Society of Chairs of Academic Radiology Departments (SCARD) and MOMENTUM, a Birmingham women’s leadership organization and co-creator of LEAD, a women’s leadership development program jointly developed by SCARD and GE Healthcare, about overcoming the strong forces of traditional gender roles to become a champion of women's leadership within radiology.
Dr. Canon reflects on her early days growing up in Garland, TX as well as the (sometimes difficult) experiences that have shaped the leader she is today. She shares the significant role that mentors and sponsors have played in her career, how she rose to department chair at the young age of 41 and why imposter syndrome is a good thing. You will be inspired by her passion for continuous learning and commitment to making an impact which will change the face of radiology.
