Once you view a lecture, take the evaluation survey.

The Department of Pediatrics’ faculty development program strives to develop a culture that promotes faculty growth and skills in the following areas:

  • Educational/teaching skills
  • Leadership skills
  • Skills necessary to engage in scholarly activities
  • Personal development (Wellness and vitality). 

“Faculty development has a critical role to play in promoting academic excellence and innovation.”  

(Wilkerson and Irby, Academic Medicine, 73(4), 1998).
