Let's Talk Promotions
Dr. Uleme Luhanga, Graduate Medical Education, Department of Medicine, was approved for promotion to Associate Professor, effective September 1, 2022. Congratulations, Uleme!
We asked Dr. Luhanga what advice she received and found helpful during her promotion journey, and she said:
"Get to know the faculty development staff in your department and the School of Medicine. They can provide a wealth of information and guidance." Dr. Luhanga offered her own advice, too. "Start early! Attend the workshops offered by SOM's Office of Faculty Developoment to get a better understanding of what is needed in your promotion materials, so that you can start organizing those early and keep up to date on things."
The next packet class being offered by the School of Medicine for those going up for non-tenure promotions this year takes place July 25, 2022, from 5:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m., For additional information reach out to our office and check out the resources on our Promotions and Tenure page.
