Skills for Professional Advancement
摘要
Medical school faculty should remain committed to lifelong learning and continuous improvement in all the skills needed to be successful in their position. You should carefully review your job description as well as the expectations of those to whom you report with the goal of prioritizing areas in which to assess and refine your skills. Asking for feedback from peers can also help identify areas for your improvement. Once gaps and opportunities are identified, you can benefit from exploring the courses and other training options to improve your skills and job performance that might be available at your institution as well as others. Consider pursuing informal and formal training, including the use of sabbaticals to acquire expertise in new areas and on the job training. Your choice should depend upon the nature and degree of the improvements needed.
