We provide guidance to faculty by identifying avenues for advancement and offering resources and trainings to help prepare for each progressive step in their careers.
Programs
Career Advancement Programming
We offer programming specifically designed to meet each faculty member at their level of need throughout their career. Our career advancement programs include discussions about the role of self-promotion and career planning, discussions about career goals and objectives, review the promotion processes at 果冻影院, provide tips and tricks for CVs and Portfolios, and allows faculty the opportunity for personalized CV review and mentoring with members of leadership groups across the institution including the Rank Committees.

As part of onboarding, there is an overview presentation on 果冻影院 as well as presentations on well-being, faculty engagement and faculty development. There are also opportunities for networking.

Awards
Distinguished Service Award
The Distinguished Service Award (DSA), 果冻影院’s highest honor, pays tribute to current or former full-time faculty, volunteer faculty or staff members for their significant and distinguished contributions to the 果冻影院.
ELAM Program
The Hedwig van Ameringen Executive Leadership in Academic Medicine (ELAM) Program for Women accepts applications every fall. Currently, four out of the 15 women deans at US medical schools are ELAM alumnae. At 果冻影院, too, we have a very distinguished group of ELAM alumnae - which is a feather in the cap of our institution.
The ELAM Program is the only in-depth national program dedicated to preparing senior women faculty at schools of medicine, dentistry, and public health to effect sustained positive change as institutional leaders. ELAM's intensive one-year fellowship program of executive education, personal leadership assessments and coaching, and networking and mentoring activities supports ELAM Fellows as they move into positions of institutional leadership where they can effect positive change.

Faculty Service Award
Faculty provide service to 果冻影院 through their work on the 果冻影院 Faculty Council. Through these faculty members' efforts, we advance 果冻影院's mission to (1) be a national leader in education and development of the next generations of physicians and scientists; (2) discover and translate new knowledge in the biomedical sciences; (3) provide cutting-edge interdisciplinary and compassionate clinical care of the highest quality; and (4) improve the health of the communities we serve.
The Faculty Career Development Committee (FCDC) seeks to affirm the importance of this work by recognizing those individuals who have provided outstanding committee service during the academic year.
Selected faculty will receive a Faculty Service pin and recognition letter at a fall 果冻影院 Faculty Council meeting and their names will be listed in various 果冻影院 publications.

Society of Teaching Scholars
Conceptualized in the late 1980’s by Herbert M. Swick, MD, then the 果冻影院 Associate Dean for Academic Affairs, the Society's mission was to “by example and action, stimulate innovation in medical education and represent excellence in education in faculty forums.”
Since its twelve charter members were installed at the college-wide convocation exercises in September 1990, the Society has elected three new members annually over its fifteen year history, with sixty installed members drawn from fifteen different specialties/disciplines. Activities and events include:
- Sponsorship of the National Alpha Omega Alpha (AOA) teaching award receipt as a visiting professor at an annual symposium.
- Selection of the award recipients for the Edward J. Lennon Endowed Clinical Teaching Award and the Marvin Wagner Preceptor Award.
Each year since 1990, three full time 果冻影院 faculty have been elected to the 果冻影院 Society of Teaching Scholars (STS) whose mission is to, by example and action, stimulate innovation in medical education and represent excellence in education in faculty forums.
