Faculty Development & Mentoring Program Overview

The Department of Anesthesiology faculty development and mentoring program is intended to be a useful way of helping new faculty members adjust to their new environment, establish mentoring relationships, and achieve professional career goals. It is also intended to be a resource for established faculty members relative to their ongoing career advancement, and to keep abreast of relevant issues on our campus and within the profession. The program’s success will depend on the new faculty members and their mentors, established faculty members, the department chair, and administrative support staff all taking an active role in the program. An outline of the program’s goals is noted below.

This includes understanding the role, missions, responsibilities, and governance of the 3 key partners on this campus which include the University of Kansas School of Medicine (UKSOM), the University of Kansas Physicians (UKP), and the University of Kansas Hospital (KUH).

Helping to sort out priorities—budgeting time, balancing clinical and academic service.

Long-term goals

Achieving career advancement.

Traditional assistance is always available but this web site serves to formalize some of the responsibilities and ensure the passing of important information is easily accessible, consistent, up-to-date, and incongruent with the School of Medicine guidelines and expectations for promotion. Faculty are always welcome to find additional mentors outside the Department of Anesthesiology and from other institutions.
