Advance Professional Development Program

 

Advance, the faculty professional development program, is an institutional mentoring program designed to mentor faculty in the essential skills needed to advance professionally. The curriculum is divided into 6 domains:  Research, Scientific Writing, Teaching Excellence, Career Management, Mentoring, and Technology Training. The curriculum provides senior faculty with information they can use in mentoring their junior colleagues  and also includes information that senior faculty may use for their own career enrichment or advancement.

Additional classes are also offered through the Biomedical Library: Biomedical Library Workshops
(Please note that the Biomedical Library Workshops DO NOT count towards the Perelman School of Medicine's Program to Enhance Teaching Skills)

There are several Advance programs available for online viewing through the “Penn on iTunesU” website: http://www.upenn.edu/itunes/_PoiTU.html Once you get to the “Penn on iTunes U” page, click on "Take me to Penn on itunesU".
