Dr. Ross McKinney Jr., The Association of American Medical Colleges: Host Dr. VJ Periyakoil

"I don't think it's useful to have one identity for yourself. I think it's important to realize we all as human beings have multiple parts of us, and we're going to try and utilize those different parts of us in different ways, at different stages in our career," explains Dr. Ross McKinney Jr., MD, Chief Scientific Officer the Association of American Medical Colleges in this episode of our healthcare leadership podcast. When he faced rejections and failures, his strategy was to be very practical and say "Hey, okay, I guess the thing I should do is figure out what I was good at in that, and find some way to carry it forward." Through his very open disclosures, Ross traces his extraordinary career and his successful leadership strategies.
