Academic medical centers have a special opportunity to promote, model, and encourage professionalism and leadership in all aspects of our work with students, patients, peers, and superiors. Professionalism in our Department means not only acquiring specialized knowledge of psychiatric care and treatment, though this is crucial, but also promoting competency, integrity, self-regulation, and accountability in all clinical, academic, and administrative endeavors.
To strengthen our sense of purpose, our effectiveness, and our cohesiveness as one academic community, we have an established leadership team. Together, this executive and administrative infrastructure supports department-wide efforts to strengthen the leadership skills and aspirations of our early career faculty and staff, and to cultivate a culture that is supportive of professional growth and opportunities.
