The Heersink School of Medicine is dedicated to supporting faculty in their professional development. Our comprehensive program serves the professional and career development needs of faculty at all levels of the academician lifecycle—new recruit, junior, mid-career, senior and emeritus.

New Faculty Orientation


Current Faculty

Our school is dedicated to supporting faculty members in their professional development. This includes traditional career development related to promotion and tenure and also leadership development for those faculty members who aspire to make systematic change. Faculty engagement is also a focus of our activities as it is the faculty who must engage to fulfill the School of Medicine mission. Finally, improving mentorship has been a priority as there is a substantial body of evidence that shows that mentorship is important for all important faculty related outcomes throughout an entire academic career.
