SUCCESS Program
Starting University Clinical Careers Effectively, Scholarly, and Successfully
Being an academic physician can be challenging. If you're a new faculty member, it is important to understand early all components necessary for career success. The SUCCESS program helps clinical faculty thrive by providing training in the four domains of excellence required for academic promotion: Clinicians, Educators, Scholars, Institutional Citizens.
In this two-part virtual program, faculty can get a jumpstart on the who, what, where, and how to be a successful clinical faculty member at UT Southwestern.
