As the MCG Office for Faculty Success, we serve faculty and the academic/clinical departments in which they reside.
Our mission is to oversee, promote, and build an intentional and integrated approach to supporting faculty needs across career stages, appointment types, and faculty roles, ensuring that all faculty have access and opportunity in their pursuit of excellence and advancement.
Mentoring is a critical piece for the success of faculty in academic medicine. According to the Association of American Medical Colleges, mentoring is associated with job satisfaction, productivity, retention, and increased sense of "fit" with one's institution.
We operate on the premise that faculty will have the greatest satisfaction and returns on their careers when they feel ownership over them.
Diverse, capable, engaged faculty are our most valuable resource in academic medicine.
MCG recognizes the importance and value of mentorship in academic medicine.
