Support for faculty development and mentoring provides an engaging academic atmosphere for faculty.
The Department of Internal Medicine is actively involved in supporting faculty of all backgrounds in their educational, research, and patient care efforts. We work to ensure faculty are linked with all departmental and campus resources at their disposal. The Director of Faculty Development and Mentoring provides an individualized approach to aid in setting and attaining goals. We welcome faculty of diverse backgrounds and seek to meet any needs our faculty have in achieving their career goals.
