Office of Faculty and Institutional Affairs Update
The Office of Faculty and Institutional Affairs offers a wide range of resources and programs to support faculty at all career stages and across all LSU campuses. Our faculty contribute to LSU’s clinical, educational, and research missions through teaching, discovery, training, and practice across diverse areas of academic medicine. Collaboration is at the heart of our work as we strive to meet the needs of students, trainees, patients, and colleagues. All faculty development initiatives are designed with our faculty’s needs in mind. Check the website for additional information and dates for all upcoming sessions.
Medical Education Scholarship Community
LSU SoM faculty are amazing educators. We share this work and advance the field through
dissemination of medical education scholarship. Are you interested in gaining new
perspectives on medical education research and scholarship? Whether you are curious
to learn more, have a project in mind, or just want to connect with others doing this
work, you are welcome in LENS - the LSU SoM Educators Network for Scholarship. Together, we build skills, discuss new ideas, and collaborate on projects
that make a real difference for learners and faculty alike.
All are welcome to join. Check the website for additional dates. Contact Dr. Amy Creel acree1@lsuhsc.edu for calendar invites.

Department Specific Faculty Development
Our Assistant Deans of Faculty Affairs, Drs. Moore and Creel, are available to provide
department-specific development or help find a resource for specific needs. This could
include a brief faculty development discussion during scheduled faculty meetings,
larger workshops for faculty, or simply discussing what resources and opportunities
are available within the SoM. Potential faculty development topics include, but are
not limited to: giving/receiving feedback, wellness, mentoring, professional identity
development, generational differences with learners, supporting struggling learners,
etc. Reach out to somfacultydevelopment@lsuhsc.edu if you’d like to schedule time to talk about how the Office of Faculty and Institutional
Affairs can best support your faculty.
