On Mentorship and Paying it Forward
A message from the chair, Dr. Steve Abramson
On January 30 the Department held its Annual Promotions and Appointments Recognition Reception, honoring 42 faculty members on their promotion to associate professor or professor during the past year. This event presents a wonderful opportunity to reflect upon the importance of promotion in one’s professional career. Promotion to associate professor or professor demonstrates years of sustained effort, dedication, and talent. Indeed, the talent evident among our faculty is remarkable, exemplifying diverse pathways as clinicians, educators, and scientists.
While each individual’s journey to success and promotion varies, a vital ingredient for many is mentorship. The department is fortunate to have many faculty members who give their time and expertise to provide mentoring for junior faculty. Our mentoring program is led by David Stern, vice chair for education and faculty affairs, and Lynn Buckvar-Keltz, associate chair for professional development. This issue features an interview with Dr. Buckvar-Keltz, who discusses her role in fostering mentorship and professional development throughout the Department of Medicine, with a particular focus on the career advancement of women. Through our mentoring efforts and the dedication of the division directors, the department has seen a greater than two-fold increase in the number of faculty promoted in FY18 compared to FY16 (67 vs. 27). The increase in the number of women promoted during that time (37 vs. 11) is even greater. A link to Lynn's full promotion data presentation to the Department leadership is below.
It is extremely gratifying to be part of a community of faculty so dedicated not only to their own careers but to those of their colleagues. This is the true community spirit of “One Faculty” paying it forward.

TV doctors are a staple of our popular culture—Ben Casey, Marcus Welby, Hawkeye Pierce, Michaela Quinn, Cliff Huxtable, and Gregory House, to name a few. Some were played by established actors, others by relative newcomers whose names and faces are now quite familiar. Test your knowledge about which characters—and shows—brought them to public attention.
