Office of Faculty Development and Engagement

Mission: Advancing an engaged faculty community to promote innovation and equity in health care. Vision: We envision an academic community that welcomes, respects, and values people’s unique perspectives, identities, and life experiences. Values: Inclusive excellence is foundational to faculty development, enabling new levels of innovation in education, research, and patient care to serve the needs of society. The Office of Faculty Development and Engagement (OFDE) serves to develop all faculty to their fullest potential as academic, clinical, and community leaders and to promote the recruitment and advancement of an inclusive and engaged faculty community. Senior Associate Dean, Dr. Bonnie Maldonado, recognizes that in order to achieve these goals, OFDE must continue to work toward creating an organizational culture that values the contributions of all members, encourages a broad and open approach to teaching, research, and patient care, and provides an intellectually and socially attractive environment for all people.
