USUHS Faculty News/Updates and Reappointments
Please see the message below from USU:
Good day to everyone.
This is a busy time of year for many of us! I am using this newly created email group to alert ALL NATIONAL FACULTY about relevant items for those who hold faculty appointments at USUHS SOM (School of Medicine). I have attached the quarterly newsletter and if you are not getting these, and are interested, these are on our faculty development self-service site. These are published quarterly and have been since 2016. You can see older newsletters there as well. Use this link — https://fac-dev.usuhs.edu – it is under the newsletter tab on the left. Few special items below:
a) The SOM is looking for interested faculty to serve as a National Faculty Coach to USU students rotating at core clerkship sites. We have a need for faculty coaches at the following sites: Keesler AFB, Wright-Patterson Medical Center, William Beaumont AMC (El Paso, TX), USAF Medical Center (Offut AFB), Martin Army Community Hospital (Ft. Moore), Eglin AFB, Eisenhower AMC (Ft. Gordon, GA), Jacksonville Naval Hospital, and Naval Hospital Portsmouth.
Serving in this role requires one day of in-person training at the USU campus in Bethesda, MD in September and a commitment to serve in this role at your site until June 2025. Please reach out to Ms. Amy Laczek (amy.laczek@usuhs.edu) with questions.
Interested faculty should submit their names HERE by 31 May 2024.
b) We are doing our faculty development needs assessment. Please use this link below and reach back to me or thomas.mcfate@usuhs.edu if you have trouble. If you have trouble with the link you can also try the QR code attached as well.
c) If you need to change your contact info in the upcoming months please use the following link so my office can make needed updates.
https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1O1YFTl4uGDbgmKo1YZiwjellw1aSr-8jDV0coDdvAnM/edit
d) 2024 IS A REAPPOINTMENT YEAR
Written in our promotion document, every 3 years regardless of the date of your initial appointment, all faculty need to sign a reappointment letter. Furthermore you have 30 days only to return this or your appointment will be automatically inactivated. This will occur June/July of this year. What do you need to do now: make sure your email stays current! All letters will go to your WORK email (which is the primary email logged here). I will send more current info throughout this time to alert you which departments have been sent. We have >6700 faculty. Departments have varied means to reach people. I, personally, will send instructions and reminders along the way to minimize confusion. At any time once I send the notification the first letters have been emailed, you are concerned, please reach back to me. Many of you are teaching daily our students and I do not want you to lose your appointment. For those of you episodically teaching, it may be more difficult to stay connected.
Thank you all for being part of USU – we couldn’t accomplish what we do without the team of people not in Bethesda.
