The Department of Pediatrics Instructor Recognition program aims to recognize instructor/senior instructor faculty who are making substantive contributions to the university above and beyond their primarily clinical roles. Currently in a pilot phase, the program has three specific aims:
- To recognize the depth of expertise and accomplishment across three different domains (Clinical Practice Development, Education and Research) and two levels of recognition (Expert and Senior Expert).
- To provide opportunities for professional growth and recognition throughout a faculty member’s career.
- To provide structure that facilitates mentorship pairing.
