The Office of Faculty Development offers numerous development programs open to faculty across all five campuses, with the goal of professional and personal growth. Through these different programs, faculty set personal and professional goals while learning the skills needed to achieve them. These programs also provide faculty the opportunity to build a cohort of colleagues within the School of Medicine.
The office is committed to the continued learning, achievement, and promotion of our faculty. Some of our Faculty Development Programs include:
- Excellence in Leadership, Vitality, Advancement, Teamwork, and Education (ELEVATE)
- ELEVATE is a faculty development program for early-career faculty. It consists of monthly in-person workshops covering the fundamentals of career planning, self-awareness and self-management, and leadership skills. The program will help faculty members succeed in academic medicine through improved abilities in time management, negotiation, mentor identification, self-efficacy, career satisfaction, and academic promotion.
