UW SoM faculty may struggle to evaluate and plan next steps in their academic careers due to time limitations, competing professional and clinical demands, and lack of training in structured frameworks for career development. These challenges can contribute to inefficiencies in professional roles, burnout, and reduced effectiveness in clinical, educational, and leadership responsibilities.
The Transforming Your Career Workshop was designed for UW SoM faculty seeking strategies to more effectively manage expanding clinical and professional responsibilities, prepare for advancement or leadership roles, and apply design-thinking frameworks to improve role effectiveness within academic medicine and healthcare systems.
This interactive workshop equips learners with practical tools to set measurable professional goals, test career-related changes, and align their roles with institutional and patient-care priorities, supporting sustained faculty performance and system effectiveness.
