Message from the Chair
A career in academic medicine is a great way to blend our passions for patient care, teaching, community involvement, and scholarly activity. Through our faculty development activities, we aim to help all members of the department grow and achieve their goals. Promotion in the academic ranks is one way the university recognizes our accomplishments, and we want to help you along the way. The information on this page serve as a guide and resource. Several senior members of the department also stand ready to assist. I am always happy to meet with you, as well, to talk about your career and ways to help make sure you get where you want to go. Here's to what we can accomplish together!
