DESCRIPTION

The purpose of this faculty development effort is to provide opportunities for Junior Faculty to engage with external experts in their field.

University of Michigan School of Dentistry Assistant Faculty will have the opportunity to apply to invite a prominent senior colleague who is an expert in clinical, educational or research related areas. Calls for applications will be distributed throughout the junior faculty e-mail list. Applications will be accepted as funds are available; there are limited funds for this effort.

Applications will be reviewed by the committee for “Victors for Clinical and Research Faculty Development at the UMSoD”; preference will be given to combined applications of 2 faculties or more. View a complete list of faculty research interest and expertise.

Scheduled speakers for Victors for Clinical Research Faculty Development appear in the School of Dentistry's Events.
