Congratulations, Clinician-Educator Faculty Development Program Graduates!

A cohort of early-career clinician-educator faculty members recently achieved a professional milestone, graduation from the Clinician-Educator Faculty Development Program (CEFDP). 

The CEFDP, directed by Gina Perez, MD (Associate Professor of Psychiatry), is a Department of Psychiatry professional development opportunity for early-career clinician-educators, specially designed to enhance clinical and academic skills and to foster peer network connections.  

Because the transition to a faculty position in an academic medical center can be challenging and complex, the CEFDP provides formalized support to help assistant professor-level faculty members navigate their career progression. The program provides practical guidance on topics including team building, scholarly projects, teaching and mentoring, media relations and community outreach, and more.

Congratulations to the CEFDP Class of 2024:

• Abigail Geisler, DO
• Jared Gorsuch, DO
• Elizabeth Hale, MD
• Anna Jolliffe, DO
• James Latronica, DO
• Lindsay Leikam, MD
• Sarah Lim, MD
