At registration you will be prompted to select the pathway that best describes your faculty role. These pathways are suggestions to take the guesswork out of registration and to make sure the content you receive is tailored toward how you spend your time. See a session that is outside your pathway but feels relevant? E-mail facdev@dm.duke.edu and we will provide you the details.
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.
The Office for Faculty is partnering with the Office for Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion to provide a community building session for faculty from underrepresented racial and ethnic backgrounds to network and connect across departments. Individuals interested in attending this session can sign up during registration.
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.
