About SoM Faculty Development

Mission

The Office of Faculty Development advocates for and facilitates ongoing professional development and well-being of all faculty by supporting their pursuit of excellence in teaching, research, personal growth and service.

Vision

Through a wide variety of quality programs, all faculty in the OHSU School of Medicine are supported and empowered to achieve their professional and personal goals while flourishing in their communities.

Values and Goals

Life-long learning: Professional development across all domains of faculty development is a life-long process.  Needs will change across a faculty member’s career trajectory.

Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion: Embracing and supporting diversity, equity and inclusion gives us the power and knowledge to better serve our community. 

Advocacy: Listening to faculty concerns and initiating responses/programs to meet the needs of faculty.

Collaboration and Teamwork: Valuing and encouraging cooperation and collaboration amongst all faculty to encourage “collective competence.” 

Integrity: Being trustworthy and responsive to faculty needs, committing to maintain confidentiality (when appropriate), and following through with commitments.

Innovation: Cultivating a proactive culture that is supportive of inquiry, discovery, and innovation.

  1. Support and enhance existing longitudinal, cohort-based professional development programs.
  2. Promote a culture of mentorship and coaching.
  3. Continue and expand efforts at prioritizing diversity, equity and inclusion in faculty development.
  4. Set foundation to initiate a robust onboarding program.
