Faculty Development Program

Building Faculty Communities: Pursuing Themes that Enrich and Enhance 

The Office of Faculty Affairs (OFA) at the University of Massachusetts Medical School offers an array of faculty development programs designed to help faculty progress in their academic careers, advance their competencies, build collaborative relationships with colleagues, enhance personal growth, and sustain their vitality throughout the academic lifecycle. As the clinical, teaching and research demands of faculty increase, and as the culture of academic medicine continues to change, the offerings change to focus on salient issues important to comprehensive academic career development. Faculty have the opportunity to develop a tailored program for themselves, combining courses focused on their individual needs 

Programs are provided in four areas central to faculty academic work –  Teaching, Technology, Research and Leadership .  Programs, workshops, and consultation services are responsive to faculty needs as they adapt to professional, institutional, and personal change.  They provide faculty with opportunities for networking, and sharing ideas and perspectives across departments and schools within the UMMS community.
