How to Get Involved in Initiatives and Committee Work

Career Development Panel Series Session 1

Drawing on faculty interest, the Center for Faculty Development has organized a series of four webinars on specific aspects of academic career development, whether to build toward promotion consideration or to enrich professional knowledge and experience. Learn more about where to find and how to join initiatives or committees of interest, the dimensions of major administrative roles, how and when to get involved on an editorial board, and, ultimately, when it makes sense to say yes to a new responsibility—or decline the opportunity.

Learning Objectives:
Upon completion of this activity, participants were able to:

• Identify committees relevant to career and of interest
• Discuss ways to investigate in more depth an initiative or committee of interest
• Illustrate best approaches to conveying an interest in getting involved in an initiative or on a committee

Andrew A. Nierenberg, MD, Co-Director, Center for Clinical Research Education
