Jennifer Wu, MD, MPH
Interim Vice Dean for Academic Affairs
Education and Faculty Affairs Imperative Lead
Our world-class faculty are leaders in their fields and devoted educators. The UNC School of Medicine is deeply committed to supporting our faculty in their academic endeavors.
As an institution, we strive to promote an equitable and inclusive setting where our colleagues can excel in the interrelated areas of research, education, and patient care, and where the vision of leadership is based on the premise that leadership is not isolated to those who hold prominent positions.
Accordingly, our strategic priorities focus on fostering an environment in which our faculty thrive. Since we know that several factors including career stage, gender, and other influences mediate faculty needs, we continue to invest in faculty development at all levels with the aim of providing a wide-ranging and customizable portfolio of opportunities for personal reflection and growth. To ensure our faculty have intrapersonal and institutional support along the way, our strategic plan bolsters faculty well-being initiatives and expands upon coaching and mentorship resources.
