Promotion Criteria and Rewarding the Work of our Faculty with Maureen Connelly, MD, MPH

An exciting, information-packed Faculty Factory Reunion episode is now available for our listeners this week with Maureen Connelly, MD, MPH. Dr. Connelly is Senior Associate Dean for Academic and Community Affairs with Kaiser Permanente Bernard J. Tyson School of Medicine in Pasadena, California.

All things promotion and promotion criteria are the topics underpinning today’s chat with Dr. Connelly. Two important, mission-based promotion ideas that Dr. Connelly shares with us include:

• Ensuring our mission is driving our promotion criteria.
• Rewarding the things our mission says we should be rewarding.

“Often people describe the promotion criteria as a hidden curriculum,” Dr. Connelly pointed out in today’s discussion.

Dr. Connelly first joined our podcast nearly two years ago to the day. On July 24, 2020, Dr. Connelly brought her enthusiasm to our podcast. We discussed her efforts in helping to open Kaiser Permanente Bernard J. Tyson School of Medicine as it was established that year.
