The Icahn School of Medicine Office of Faculty Development (OFD) and Office of Well-being and Resilience (OWBR) believe that collaboration, compassion and strong communication skills are essential for leaders to be effective and supportive of their teams. These skills can enhance your and your team’s well-being and professional fulfillment. We host, support and endorse a series of events and workshops for faculty to learn and practice new skills for leadership. We offer these periodic workshops on various topics—and are always interested in your suggestions. Please email OFD@mssm.edu to let us know what leadership development topics we can help you with.
