Faculty Development
The National Center for Faculty Development & Diversity offers a variety of webinars relevant to faculty development, which are free to UIC faculty. The link below is for one recent webinar – “Every Semester Needs a Plan”. The beginning of a semester (or a season – spring is here!) is a good time to identify personal and professional goals, create a strategic plan to accomplish them, and identify the types of community, support, and accountability you need to make this a productive period. You will be prompted to register for free under your institutional membership (i.e., UIC)

Over the past few weeks, the environment for academic medicine has been subject to new challenges and growing uncertainty. Therefore, we especially wanted to make sure that all faculty are aware of the Wellness Guide for UIC Faculty. Please see the link below.

Performance Evaluation
As Dr. Caskey mentioned at our last quarterly DOM faculty meeting, the evaluation form has been restructured to better serve the needs of all faculty. The purpose of this annual evaluation is for faculty to self-reflect on career development to date, and individual career goals for the next year; and assess performance as it related to the four mission pillars (clinical, education, scholarship and service). At your earliest convenience, please find a time to meet with your division chief to complete the evaluation.
Promotion
As you consider your professional goals for the upcoming year and meet with your division chief for your annual performance evaluation, please do consider if you are interested in exploring promotion. Michael Paprzyca and I are happy to discuss the steps and criteria with you. To ensure the process goes smoothly, let us know as soon as possible if you are interested in exploring promotion.
Wellness
We-CARE Faculty Peer Support Program. Under the direction of Drs. Stephanie Joe and Memoona Hasnain, this COM program is aimed at fostering the well-being of UIC COM faculty and promoting belonging and inclusion. In addition to peer support and collegiality, it also connects faculty members with other organizational resources for further support. It provides a safe space for faculty to confidentially share their concerns and dilemmas and receive emotional support and validation without judgment or fear of retaliation. These are colleagues you can turn to when you need someone to talk about issues such as burnout, workplace conflicts, obstacles in career advancement, etc. For additional details, please go to the link below
