Vision

All faculty in the OHSU School of Medicine are supported and empowered to achieve their professional and personal goals while flourishing in their communities.

Values and Goals

Life-long learning: Professional development across all domains of faculty development is a life-long process.  Needs will change across a faculty member’s career trajectory.

Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion: Embracing and supporting diversity, equity and inclusion gives us the power and knowledge to better serve our community. 

Advocacy: Listening to faculty concerns and initiating responses/programs to meet the needs of faculty.

Collaboration and Teamwork: Valuing and encouraging cooperation and collaboration amongst all faculty to encourage “collective competence.” 

Integrity: Being trustworthy and responsive to faculty needs, committing to maintain confidentiality (when appropriate), and following through with commitments.

Innovation: Cultivating a proactive culture that is supportive of inquiry, discovery, and innovation.

  1. Support and enhance existing longitudinal, cohort-based professional development programs.
