    Finding Joy in Leadership: Brian Zink, MD, on Coaching, Purpose and the Next Phase of Academic Medicine

    Leadership in academic medicine can come with challenges that are rarely talked about— isolation, burnout, and making tough decisions. “Leadership positions can feel lonely, particularly for new leaders,” said Brian Zink, MD, Senior Advisor and Adjunct Professor of Emergency Medicine at the University of Michigan. “There is often a sense of vulnerability and even imposter syndrome when you assume these roles.” Dr. Zink has been in many leadership positions in academic medicine for over 30 years, including nearly 12 years as chair of emergency medicine at Brown University and Senior Associate Dean for Faculty and Faculty Development at UMMS. He has entered what he calls “a next phase of life,” instead of retirement. He is now helping others navigate the pressures of leadership through coaching, mentorship, and faculty development. “The big thing that I'm trying to help people with is how to have a satisfying, enjoyable life, and how to find joy in their leadership role,” Dr. Zink said. “Leadership can be very time-consuming, very intense. I want to help leaders find clarity, confidence, and balance in their careers.” He began his career at Michigan Emergency Medicine in 1992 as one of the department’s first faculty members. Early on, his early career focused on alcohol effects and trauma research. Afterward, he transitioned into leadership roles in the medical school before becoming chair at Brown, where he helped lead and grow their emergency medicine department for nearly 12 years.
