All UTGSM faculty are invited to attend the second annual Faculty Development Workshop, Friday, March 26, UT Conference Center, 8 a.m.–12 p.m., presented by the UT Graduate School of Medicine and Academy of Scholars Committee.

Two keynote presenters, Dr. Pamela Rowland of Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center and Dr. Sheila Chauvin of Louisiana State University Health Science Center will address "Professionalism" and "Scholarly Research in Medical Education."
A nationally recognized communications expert, Dr. Rowland trained as a behavioral scientist and has more than 25 years of clinical experience at Brown, Tufts and Dartmouth medical schools. She evaluates faculty in clinical settings and has focused her research on physician-patient satisfaction, verbal examinations and interviewing skills.
Dr. Chavin, an equally experienced behavioral scientist, founded and directs the Academy for the Advancement of Educational Scholarship at LSU and also directs the Office of Medical Education and Research, which serves as a consulting group to faculty pursuing research projects.
After the two plenary presentations, participants will attend workshops to apply the material covered in the plenary sessions. A continental breakfast and box lunch will be provided.
