Our faculty development programs are oriented to facilitate success for faculty members as individuals, as team members of the Department of Emergency Medicine, and as community members at the University of Colorado and beyond. We take a holistic view of faculty development: we are evidence-based and data-driven in providing resources that can help careers, such as education, mentoring, and sponsorship. The long-term faculty development goal is academic persistence, meaning that faculty members can achieve short term outcomes needed to progress in rank, get promoted, and build long-lasting careers contributing to and leading meaningful work.
