The Department of Pediatrics at the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine is sincerely invested in the long-term success of its faculty. We believe that promotion is a byproduct of comprehensive career development, and promotion planning is best begun very early in one’s career, with the guidance and support of division chiefs and additional mentors. The University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine offers various pathways to promotion, tailored to align with faculty interests and activities. We encourage you to review the links on this page, which provide valuable information and resources to help you navigate the promotion process.
