Session
Description: At this inaugural meeting of the Mid-career Faculty SIG, we will provide opportunities for attendees to 1) get advice from a more senior pediatric academic about navigating mid-career challenges,2) network with other mid-career faculty, and 3) set individual goals in SMART (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, and Time-Bound) aim format for their professional advancement. The purpose and mission of this SIG are to foster ongoing mentorship, coaching, peer support, guidance in leadership development, networking, career development, and success of academic faculty who identify as mid-career. We welcome MD, DO, and PhD faculty who are Assistant Professor, Associate Professor, and Full Professor rank as long as “mid-career” issues are at the forefront, from research/scientist, clinical educator, advocacy, and clinician scholar tracks.
