Faculty Development Program

The Faculty Development Program offers a wide array of workshops and programming designed to help faculty enrich their professional lives, enhance personal growth, advance in their academic careers, build collaborative relationships with colleagues, and sustain their vitality throughout the academic life cycle.  These offerings provide faculty with opportunities for networking, and sharing ideas and perspectives across departments and schools within the UMMS community.

As the clinical, teaching and research demands of faculty increase, and as the culture of academic medicine changes, the faculty development program is committed to focusing on salient issues important to comprehensive academic career development. Responding to the ongoing needs of teaching, research, and clinical faculty, the Program has developed offerings customized for departments and their faculty. Individual faculty members also have the opportunity to develop a tailored program for themselves, combining workshops focused on their needs. There are offerings in four areas central to faculty academic work – Teaching, Technology, Research and Leadership.
