Over 25 Years of Elevating Faculty Development at
UC San Diego
The National Center of Leadership in Academic Medicine (NCLAM) is a Health Sciences professional development program with a mentoring component for junior faculty at UC San Diego. NCLAM helps junior faculty build skills essential to their academic career, implement a professional development project, and expand their network of colleagues within Health Sciences and the University.
Professional Development for Junior Faculty
Junior faculty attend a series of ~20 workshops with topics ranging from UC San Diego expectations for academic promotion, to skill development in teaching and research, to professional development and leadership training. During the second half of the program, junior faculty choose a professional development project and are matched with a senior faculty mentor who can facilitate their progress.
NCLAM is supported by UC San Diego Vice Chancellor for Health Sciences.
