Health Sciences Faculty Equity Advisors and Search Committee Trainings

Health Sciences Faculty Search Committee Training

All Health Sciences faculty serving on faculty search committees for ladder rank positions are required to complete training every three years. 

Health Sciences faculty may register on UC Learning to attend one of the monthly Health Sciences faculty search committee trainings in 2025. Find more information and registration links below.

Health Sciences faculty may also attend search committee trainings hosted by the VC-EDI Center for Faculty Diversity and Inclusion. More information may be found on their website.

The search committee training consists of two parts:

1. Part I (asynchronous) is a pre-read slide deck that covers diversity and implicit bias. The slides are available on the Center for Faculty Diversity and Inclusion's website. If you have trouble accessing the slide deck, please contact vcedi-faculty@ucsd.edu. Faculty are expected to read through these slides and become familiar with the content before attending Part II.
2. Part II (synchronous) is a training session led by a Faculty Equity Advisor (FEA) that focuses on strategies for interrupting/mitigating bias in the search process, and best practices for a fair search. Participants will have an opportunity to think through how to apply practical strategies and best practices, and ways they might respond in certain situations during the search process.
