The Academic Careers and Faculty Development Office (ACFD) has been reconfigured and renamed the Center for Career Development (CCD) in order to highlight and emphasize the BIDMC resources currently available and being developed in support of the career advancement of our faculty members.
About
There has been a growing need for greater support for faculty as they navigate their careers, including and not limited to, the Harvard Medical School (HMS) promotion process. With the advancement of Grace Huang, MD, to the Dean of the Faculty of HMS, and Seward Rutkove, MD, PhD to chair of the BIDMC Department of Neurology, the timing was right to reflect on how BIDMC can further support faculty career advancement in the context of the resources of the Shapiro Center, HMFP and HMS.
The newly named leaders of the OAC, David Hackney, MD, Faculty Career Development Director, and Leo Otterbein, PhD, Director, Translational/Basic Research Careers, will work collaboratively to provide guidance, mentorship, and practical support to colleagues seeking advice regarding their career progression.
Drs. Hackney and Otterbein join Tony Karnoub, PhD, Director, Post-Doctoral Scholars Program, and Steve Freedman, MD, Director, Epstein Society, and Daniele Ölveczky, MD, Faculty Director for Diversity, Equity and Inclusion, in rounding out resources available through the BIDMC Office for Academic Careers. With the addition of these leaders for support of career advancement and the continuing offerings of the Shapiro Center for professional development, BIDMC faculty will be well positioned to successfully meet their career aspirations.
For any questions or to meet with any of the OAC leaders, please contact the leaders directly or Kelly Anastasio (kanasta2@bidmc.harvard.edu), program coordinator for the Office for Academic Careers.
