Celebration of Promotions
It is with a great sense of pride and enthusiasm that I announce the Associate Professor and Professor promotions and tenure awarded during this academic year, effective July 1, 2020.
We are truly fortunate to have such incredibly talented, passionate, and dedicated faculty in the Department of Medicine. Our extraordinary faculty are distinguished professionals in their field who are committed to upholding our mission-critical areas of clinical excellence, teaching, and scholarly work.
Please join me in congratulating your colleagues.
I would also like to express our gratitude to the Department of Medicine and School of Medicine Promotions and Tenure committees for their hard work and stewardship of this annual process.
