In coordination with the UF College of Medicine- Jacksonville Committee on Faculty Advancement and Engagement, we are launching a new program titled Roadmap for Academic Medicine Promotion (RAMP) to help faculty in navigating some of the challenges in achieving promotion. RAMP’s goal is to demystify the promotion process. It includes reviewing the Promotion and Tenure (P&T) application with tips and strategies on how to complete it. In addition, you will get to hear from several of our faculty with unique areas of expertise that will be instrumental to educate faculty in the clinical, teaching, research and service aspects of promotion. We will also share resources available in Jacksonville and UF at large. This program primary focus is on early career faculty but it will also cover some of the aspects of promotion from Associate Professor to Professor.
All session are virtual and will be recorded.
