Faculty Development
Our Goal: To facilitate the personal and professional development of educators, clinicians, researchers and administrators so that we may continue to meet the mission of the UND School of Medicine & Health Sciences.
The UND School of Medicine & Health Sciences provides multiple opportunities and resources that faculty can take advantage of as they enhance their teaching, research, and administrative skills.
Faculty development is any planned activity for ongoing enhancement of an individual's
knowledge, skills, values and attitudes in areas considered essential to the performance
of a faculty member (academic or clinical). The UND School of Medicine & Health Sciences
takes faculty development seriously.
