Faculty Development Series (Known as PDFA Training)

The Office of Professional Development and Faculty Affairs (PDFA) is pleased to offer 35-50 programs each academic year. Faculty members can develop and enhance their skills as teachers, clinicians, researchers, leaders in academic medical education, and writers, as well as skills critical to the success with mentoring experiences and their own career development.  

Workshops

PDFA Training workshops are offered predominately over the noon hour (noon - 1:00 p.m.); require pre-registration; Continuing Education is available at no cost for most events. EEDS registration "swipe cards" are used for easy registration.
