School of Medicine Community Feedback
Representative stakeholders met virtually on August 17 and 23 to review goals and strategies related to staff and faculty development and to suggest tactics and metrics that should be incorporated into the plan. The Dean’s Senior Leadership Team worked with this input to further refine the goals, and an updated draft plan has been circulated throughout the School of Medicine community for review and comment by December 6. The Dean’s Senior Leadership Team will review and assess this feedback for incorporation into the final document, which will launch with the new year.
