Investigators & Clinical Providers
Faculty education, leadership, and career development is key to career advancement and fulfillment, and research is a great way to help advance your academic career.
One of the faculty standards for promotion is excellence in scholarly research, evaluated by achievements, including, but not limited to: first and senior authorships, receiving funding as PI, and participating in interdisciplinary research team science. Contact Marjorie Greenfield, MD for a one-on-one consultation to learn more.
