This month’s Medicine Matters focuses on the Division of Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine which is led by our newest Division Chief, Dr. Imre Noth. Dr. Noth joined us from the University of Chicago where he had established himself as one of the premier research and clinical scientists in the field of interstitial lung diseases. In his short time at the University of Virginia, Dr. Noth has worked with the faculty in the Division to continue to enhance excellence in all of our missions. As you will see, the Division has many exciting and leading programs and is a priority for growth over the next few years.
On another note, the AAMC StandPoint survey was released in the past weeks and gives us a roadmap to improve the Department’s support of faculty. In order to best serve you, we are asking all Divisions to develop improvement plans around central themes in the survey. Specifically, we want to work on ensuring more effective communication, open opportunities for leadership positions, and continue to focus on healthy work-life balance. In the next week or so, there will be a call for nominations for membership in the junior faculty leadership council. This new group in the Department will meet monthly with a focus on identifying faculty needs and developing programs to best support faculty and staff. Stay tuned for more details. As always, if you have ideas for how the Department can best support you, please let me know.
