Mid-Career Faculty Development Workshop

Workshop Description: Promotion from Associate Professor to Full Professor requires a higher level of achievement in teaching, service, and scholarship and remains elusive for some faculty members. This half-day workshop will provide attendees with the knowledge and skills to pursue promotion to full professor. The workshop will include a presentation on SMHS guidelines for promotion, a panel presentation by senior faculty from clinical, basic, and health science departments who have served on the APT committee or successfully mentored faculty in their promotions, and a presentation on advocating for mid-career faculty. Attendees will have dedicated time during the workshop to develop their own plans for promotion.

This workshop will be all in-person, in Ross Hall. 

The application deadline is March 3, 2025. 

Learning Objectives: By the end of this session, faculty will be able to: 

• Describe the requirements for promotion to Professor in both tenure and non-tenure tracks.
• Identify strategies to raise the professional achievements to the level of professor.
• Formulate a personal action plan for promotion.

If you have any questions about the workshop, contact the CFE at cfe [at] gwu.edu (cfe[at]gwu[dot]edu).

Due to the focus on the promotion and tenure process, the workshop is limited to active status, regular (full-time) faculty at GW Medicine. For those with Limited Service, Research, and Clinical Appointments, please stay tuned for upcoming career development workshops.
