A myriad of challenges faced in academic medicine

While the representation in academic medicine is growing, those working in academia still face unique barriers to success. Inadequate mentorship, discrimination, and lack of a work-life balance contribute to career dissatisfaction, burnout, and ultimately under-representation in senior faculty and leadership roles.

To address these challenges, we launched the RAISE program to connect professionals in academia with industry leaders and career development experts who can share practical guidance andsupport, covering a wide range of topics relevant to professional growth. RAISE programming offers an interactive model for sharing knowledge, skills, and resources needed to thrive and lead in academia. Each month, we will offer a brief didactic from content experts, a short case presentation illustrating a challenge faced by professionals in academia, and an interactive discussion with panelists and participants.

All are welcome and participation is FREE!
