Proactive Career Development and Planning
The PACE program has been immensely helpful as junior faculty coming from a different institution. It has been a rapid, consolidated way to find out about resources at Penn and to meet engaging, accomplished faculty who are willing to help those of us starting our careers. It is the most rewarding program I have gotten involved with at Penn. I sincerely appreciate the opportunity. Jourdie Triebwasser, MD, MA, Assistant Professor, Maternal-Fetal Medicine
The PACE program has afforded me exceptional mentorship and professional development experiences that will position me well for success on the CE track. The advice has been practical and actionable, which I really appreciate. It has also allowed me to network with other early career CE faculty across the university. Courtney Wolk, PhD, Assistant Professor, Psychiatry
