Welcome to the Office for Faculty Affairs and Development
Our vision is that all faculty in the school will have the resources and relationships they need to thrive professionally and to fulfill our school’s mission.
We provide resources to support the academic and professional development of our approximately 2,000 faculty members at SMPH, as well as our clinical adjunct faculty colleagues across the region. Our goal is to anticipate the changing needs of our faculty with respect to patients and communities, learners, research, the healthcare system, technology, and the environment.
Our office provides workshops aimed at enhancing faculty engagement, satisfaction, retention and mission-aligned growth. Our events page is the place to find faculty development workshops throughout the year. Our office publishes a monthly newsletter that highlights faculty development resources and news. Sign up for the newsletter here. We develop online learning content on a variety of topics, including education, clinical skills and leadership. Our office is the home of the Centennial Scholars/Clinicians Program, which encourages and facilitates the development of a research and educational network of diverse faculty members. Our team has years of faculty development experience and offers individualized consultation to faculty members. Email ofad@med.wisc.edu if you have questions.

- Developing Educators
