Advancing Professional Excellence Across the School of Medicine

The PATH Office partners with faculty, leaders, and staff to strengthen professional excellence through consultation, learning, accountability, and recognition. Guided by the PROMISE Framework, we promote respectful workplaces, meaningful collaboration, and learning environments that support excellence in education, research, clinical care, and service.

Advancing Professional Excellence Together

Professional excellence is a shared responsibility and a defining characteristic of our School of Medicine community. The PATH Office partners with faculty, leaders, and staff to promote accountability, trust, humanism, and respectful engagement across every mission of the School of Medicine.

Through PATHways, we provide consultation, educational resources, leadership support, and professional development that strengthen communication, workplace relationships, and team effectiveness. When concerns arise, we apply a fair, thoughtful, and developmental approach that promotes reflection, accountability, and continuous improvement.

Guided by the PROMISE Framework, we help translate our shared values into everyday actions that strengthen individuals, teams, and the culture of our academic community.

For concerns involving medical students, please visit the School of Medicine Medical Student Professionalism Committee.
