Faculty Feedback Forum
This forum is a dedicated space for MSH faculty to openly discuss issues that affect their well-being, professional development, and workplace satisfaction. We invite any faculty to participate in these quarterly round table discussions, facilitated by the DOM Well-being committee and attended by DOM leadership. The goal of this initiative is to collectively identify the key areas where DOM leadership and the well-being committee can impact. Our aim is to foster a collaborative environment where every voice is valued, allowing us to together create a more optimal workplace culture in which our faculty will thrive.
Registration will be required as space is limited.
