Tompkins, medical director of infection control at SHC and a professor of medicine (division of infectious diseases and geographic medicine) and of microbiology and immunology, will assist emeritus plastic surgeon Lars Vistnes in leading the Faculty Mentoring Program. She will also serve as liaison to the new Committee on Women in Medicine and Science chaired by gynecology and obstetrics chair Mary Lake Polan.
Druzin is the Charles B. and Ann L. Johnson Professor in the School of Medicine, chief of maternal-fetal medicine in the Department of Gynecology and Obstetrics, and co-director of the Johnson Center for Pregnancy and Newborn Services. He will focus on matters related to the medical center line professoriate in general and assist from time to time in matters related to complaints and grievances, mainly related to appointments and promotions.
