Office of Academic Affairs
The Office of Academic Affairs (OAA) was developed in 2018 to address and advance the growing number of EM faculty seeking academic promotion. The OAA provides sessions on professional development and oversees faculty mentorship, CV preparation, and management of the complex promotional process at Harvard Medical School. The OAA consolidated efforts in the department and now organizes and schedules the bi-weekly faculty development and skills sessions.
