Faculty Development and Evaluation Committee Update

We invite you to bookmark the SOM Faculty Development website to stay up to date on our Future Events! In addition, the website is updated weekly, and you can find the recordings and handouts from all our past activities under Past Events

Recognition Program
The FDE Committee is developing an online recognition/praise program to highlight faculty who are making positive contributions to the SOM mission. The acknowledgments will be linked to the SOM's six core values/mission (excellence, service, innovation, compassion, inclusivity, integrity). This Peer-to-Peer recognition program aims to identify both the person who embodies the core value and the individual who provided the “shout out.”
