About Us
The offices under the leadership of the SVP and Vice Dean for Faculty Affairs, Daichi Shimbo, MD, provide support and guidance to the Vagelos College of Physicians and Surgeons at all levels.
The offices are consistently soliciting and reviewing faculty feedback from all areas to ensure that the evolving needs of our faculty and departments are addressed. We also work in close partnerships with several faculty members who provide their guidance and expertise on important matters and initiatives:
- Appointments, promotion and tenure
- Faculty life cycle support: onboarding, retirement, leave, short-term visitors
- Faculty Recognition
- Faculty Development and Engagement
- Mentoring
- Professionalism and culture
