Faculty Promotion

The Department of Pediatrics of the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine is sincerely invested in the long-term success of its faculty. Promotion planning is best begun very early in one’s career, with the guidance and support of division chiefs and department chairs as well as additional mentors. There are various pathways to promotion, depending upon faculty interest and activity. Review the links on this page which provides information and resources that will help you navigate the promotion process.
