Faculty development seminar

Based on a formal needs assessment survey, our program is designed to be is relevant, sustainable, and accessible, providing true value to all DOM faculty. We also incorporate best practices from peer institutions and scholarly publications to ensure our program meets the highest standards of faculty development.

Faculty Development Curriculum Structure

 

  • Seminar sessions — we offer 1 hour monthly seminar sessions covering a wide range of topics including education, research, clinical skills, leadership, mentorship, promotion, and scholarship. These sessions are open to all faculty with an interest in expanding their skills and knowledge.

  • Cohort sessions — we've created cohort experiences in several areas, such as Leadership DOM (LDOM) and Teach DOM (TDOM). These longitudinal sessions will delve into specific topics over several months, ensuring a deep understanding and fostering a community of learning among participants.

  • Leadership development for DOM leaders — this advanced program provides faculty development for those in leadership positions. It provides personalized one-on-one coaching and assessment to develop effective, thoughtful faculty leadership.
