I'm going through my first promotion cycle and...wow. We need to talk about this.
In this episode I discuss promotion and tenure with Alan Dalkin, Vice Chair for Promotion and Tenure in the UVA Department of Medicine. We talk about what the P&T process entails (and why), key lessons from his experience ushering DOM candidates through P&T, and future directions we should move towards to make P&T more inclusive and reflective of the work we do.
