Committee Contacts
Get Involved
Part of professional growth includes getting involved in committees across the health system and school. Committees represent an opportunity to participate in the work of our institution.
The Pediatrics Faculty Development Committee also plans social events each year (e.g. trivia night, annual holiday party, picnic).
Faculty Development Programs
Faculty in the Department of Pediatrics have access to a variety of school-wide and department-specific faculty development programs.
Leadership in Academic Medicine (LAMP) is a program for faculty in the second and third year of their appointment. This school-wide program teaches faculty members valuable leadership skills and is also a great way to meet other faculty from across the school.
The Faculty Development Committee provides an education series workshop that is open to all faculty members within the department.

Promotion and Tenure Support
IU School of Medicine and the Department of Pediatrics offer support, information sessions, and help to prepare for the Promotion and Tenure process.Peer review is one component of the promotion and tenure process. All faculty on the clinical and tenure tracks must have a peer review of teaching included in their promotion materials. The Peer Review Form Builder is a tool to help colleagues provide robust feedback for this process.
Mentoring Program
Faculty members at the assistant professor rank and on the clinical track will be invited to participate in the department's Junior Faculty Mentoring Program to ensure all faculty members receive adequate mentorship and support.
Wellness
The department is committed to fostering an environment that promotes wellness. In 2020, the Pediatrics Faculty Development Committee drafted a white paper focused on parental leave.
