The Office of Faculty Affairs and Faculty Development is the School of Medicine’s central location for oversight of faculty-related policies and guidelines, recruitment, new faculty support, promotion and tenure and professional development for faculty at all levels. We strive to foster growth, excellence and community during every stage of the career of a faculty member.

Faculty Development

A career in academic medicine is both rewarding and challenging, and nobody has to do any of it alone. The faculty development team provides programs, events and initiatives to help faculty enhance their skills, connect with one another and reach their full potential. All programming centers around five domains: Teach, discover, serve, lead, and advance.

Individualized support is also available to every clinical and basic health science faculty member through one-on-one consultations.

Portfolio

Portfolio is a faculty management system that enables School of Medicine faculty to report work activity, promote expertise publicly and submit annual evaluations. Faculty are able to manage and archive their publications, track their scholarly and clinical performance and update their online profile.

We recommend that faculty update their profile annually to ensure that their publications, research information and areas of expertise are accurate.
