Faculty

Whether you're just settling into your first faculty appointment or are already becoming an increasingly established scholar, balancing the demands of research, teaching, and service can seem daunting. But there are a myriad of resources to support you—from grant application writing guidance to the mentorship of senior faculty—so that you can continue on your journey with confidence. Look ahead to mapping out a national and international professional academic reputation in your field of clinical or basic health science research.

The OACD provides a wealth of academic career development resources tailored for faculty within the Schools of the Health Sciences that complements faculty resources provided through the individual schools themselves: Dental Medicine, Medicine, Nursing, Pharmacy, Public Health, and Health and Rehabilitation Sciences.

Wellness for Life

Many of us confuse health and wellness as being the same thing, describing them as the overall well-being of your body, mind, and soul, when in fact, health and wellness are two separate parts of well-being, although they are both equally important.
