New Faculty

It takes a village!

The Department of Surgery is a welcoming environment the enablesÌýnew recruits to quickly overcome challenges ofÌýfamiliarizing oneself with a new department. ÌýTo this end we createÌýaÌýmentorship committee for every new recruit, composed ofÌýat least 4 department members: the division director, at least one faculty member within the division, and at least one external member.

The onboarding committee meets with the new recruit at least twice a year, forÌý3-5 years. ÌýIn addition to providing support and mentorship, the committee also helps the new recruitÌýestablish relationshipÌýwithin theÌýdivision, and throughout the department, faculty, and hospitals.
