The next New Faculty Orientation will be in fall 2025. Details coming soon!
Registration will open in July 2025. The full schedule will be released closer to the date, but topics will include:
- Understanding institutional structure and resources
- Appointments, promotion, and tenure
- Working with learners
- Building a positive culture
- Advice from current faculty leaders
All SOM faculty are strongly encouraged to attend these sessions within their first three years on faculty. While content specifically targets newly hired faculty, all are welcome and many of the topics addressed are applicable to all faculty, regardless of career stage.
These sessions complement existing Duke Health and departmental onboarding efforts. Faculty with clinical appointments should continue to work with their Provider Integration Coordinator on clinical onboarding activities. Faculty conducting research should also connect with the Duke Office of Research Initiatives to schedule a 1:1 researcher onboarding session.
Basic science faculty may also want to attend University orientation.
Questions can be sent to the School of Medicine Office for Faculty at facdev@dm.duke.edu
We encourage you to reach out to your chair, division chief, or equivalent leadership if you have concerns. We understand that conflicts happen, and when possible, recordings will be made available online.
