The Department of Medicine was delighted to recognize new faculty members at a Welcome Reception on October 18, 2022, at the Trent Semans Center for Health Education.
Opening the occasion, Department of Medicine Chair, Kathleen Cooney, MD, spoke about the importance of faculty leadership, mentorship, career development, and highlighted a new Faculty Onboarding Tool to assist newcomers in acclimating to Duke. The tool provides a set of resources specific to research activities, just-in-time guidance and instructions to navigate the onboarding process, facilitating the transition as new faculty to the Department of Medicine.
Organized by Vice Chair for Academic Affairs, Andrew Alspaugh, MD, the reception gave attendees the opportunity to network with division chiefs, vice chairs and other leaders in the department. In recognizing new faculty and the vast array of experience they bring to the table, Alspaugh spoke about the commitment of the department and each division to helping faculty members pursue their clinical and academic goals.
Additional resources available to new faculty members include a New Faculty Orientation on October 25, 2022, from 2:00 – 4:30 p.m. and the Faculty Development Academy, a two-year program to support early stage faculty development needs, supplement on-going mentorship, and develop faculty in multiple career tracks. The department also offers a Career Development Seminar Series with a curriculum that includes topics in leadership skills development, negotiation, mentoring, and the finances of academic medical centers.
