Promotion Toolkit
The quality and success of the Feinberg School of Medicine depends upon the intellectual environment created by an outstanding faculty and their continuing commitment to our academic mission. The Feinberg Academy of Medical Educators (FAME) serves as a resource to assist faculty and trainees to become more effective educators and assist in career development, including promotion assistance.
The promotion toolkit below provides quick links and opportunities. For an overview of resources, view the Educator Tip Sheet developed by Mary McBride, MD, MEd and Maja Stina Sunleaf, MA. Specific resources for the domains of Clinician-Educator and Health System Clinician can be found in the Educational Domains Tip Sheet, developed by Mary McBride, MD, MEd and Maja Stina Sunleaf.
For a more detailed look into the promotion process, visit the Faculty Affairs Office's website and utilize the FAO Faculty Launchpad, which hosts a repository of research and career resources. The Feinberg School of Medicine offers opportunities for faculty recognition such as FAME membership, exemplary professionalism, and the John X Thomas Jr. Best Teachers of Feinberg Awards.
