Academy for Faculty Advancement
The Academy for Faculty Advancement is a structured, longitudinal mentoring program for early career faculty on the Boston University Medical Campus. Applicants must specify an academic project that will contribute to their professional advancement and that can achieve significant milestones by the end of the nine-month program. To assist in completing their projects, participants receive multiple forms of mentoring:
- An assigned content mentor from another department who will devote one hour per month to advising the participant.
- Expert speakers will address areas of professional development through in-person, interactive sessions twice a month for 2 hours each.
- Peer mentors in learning communities will meet at each in-person session to provide support and accountability.
