About Us

The office of Faculty Development (FD) at the College of Pharmacy is committed to the professional development and academic progression of the college’s faculty. Our primary role is to design, develop and facilitate faculty development programs and workshops to support, among others, faculty success in teaching and learning, scholarship, creative activities and faculty productivity. Additionally, we oversee new faculty orientation, and provide outreach to opportunities outside the College of Pharmacy.

Our programming aims to enhance faculty effectiveness as clinicians, researchers, educators and leaders, as well as to care for their well-being and mental health, while seeking a work-life integration. We are devoted to create an environment of collegiality in which all faculty can succeed and reach their full potential.
